REGIONAL, LOCAL AND CAMPUS OVERVIEW

Plattsburgh and the North Country SUNY Plattsburgh is situated in one of the most beautiful regions in the Empire State. Greater Plattsburgh is a community of 40,000 people located in the northeast corner of the state, on the western shore of Lake Champlain, near the Adirondack Mountains and about 20 miles from the U.S. – Canada border. You will find the City of Plattsburgh readily accessible from any point in New York state. Interstate 87, the scenic Adirondack Northway, exits about one mile from campus. Air service to and from the new Plattsburgh International Airport (PBG) is available through Boston several times a day. Direct flights to and from Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Fla., are also available several times each week. Nearby Burlington International Airport (BTV) and the Montréal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) (formerly Dorval Airport), which are only an hour away, provide scheduled flights through major airlines on a daily basis. Amtrak and Greyhound Bus Lines also serve the community. At planned breaks in the academic calendar, the Student Association charters buses for students to travel to other points in the state from a central location on campus. Plattsburgh is within an hour’s drive or less from Whiteface Mountain, the premier ski center in the eastern United States, and from Lake Placid, America’s Olympic Village. Burlington, Vt., is less than an hour away by car, and cosmopolitan Montréal, Canada’s largest city, and that nation’s cultural and commercial capital, is also a one-hour drive from campus. You can travel by car or express bus to the New York City and Long Island areas in about six hours. Albany is two and one-half hours from Plattsburgh, and Syracuse is about five hours away. Students appreciate the City of Plattsburgh for its clean, tree-lined streets, its easygoing style and pace of living, and its friendly, hospitable people. Our community’s downtown area is only a few blocks from campus. A student government-sponsored van service provides transportation several times daily to shopping and entertainment centers in both the city and its outlying districts. The North Country of New York, of which Plattsburgh is the hub, is rich in history. Benedict Arnold conducted a very successful campaign in 1776 at nearby Valcour Island on Lake Champlain that stalled the British invasion of New York. The War of 1812 ended just off Plattsburgh’s shores on Lake Champlain in what was the last naval battle between the U.S. and Great Britain. Our library holds a treasury of manuscript material for not only local history but also the history of New York state and Canada. The North Country offers myriad opportunities for outdoor recreation: skiing, snowshoeing, mountain climbing, camping, fishing, boating, tennis, and golf.

Our own indoor and outdoor facilities for sports and recreation are first-rate. If you are attracted to spectator sports, Montréal is big league in virtually every respect. You will discover that the North Country is not much colder than other regions of the state. You will quickly realize that you can adapt easily to an environment in which the average temperature in January (the coldest month) is 18 degrees Fahrenheit and to one in which snowfall annually, while heavy in the nearby Adirondacks, is light by comparison to Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, Binghamton, and other communities throughout New York. The compact nature of our campus also contributes to students’ comfort during the winter season. Just about every destination is no more than a few minutes walk from any point.

Campus Overview SUNY Plattsburgh is a special academic community that maintains high academic standards and expectations in a caring, supportive environment. We offer diversity and quality in educational programs at reasonable cost; a first-rate faculty that will challenge you and help you achieve your intellectual potential and career objectives; a modern campus with excellent facilities in a comfortable setting; and a friendly atmosphere for learning and for growing intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Our college offers a choice of more than 60 baccalaureate degrees, complemented by a wide variety of minors and study options, and is known for the caliber of its academic programs. Our major programs are divided among academic units grouped in arts and science, business and economics, and education, health, and human services. In addition, we offer graduate programs in education, counselor education, liberal studies, natural science, school psychology, and speechlanguage pathology. Research based on applicants’ perceptions of our college before their enrollment indicates clearly that the range of programs available and their reputation for excellence are the primary reasons students choose our college. We have an outstanding faculty and staff. Most teaching faculty hold a doctoral degree and view themselves as teacher/scholars and teacher/artists. A number are recognized nationally and internationally on the merits of their scholarship, the importance of their published works, and the honors they have received. Many involve students in their own research. This has led to a growing number of projects in which students are listed jointly with faculty on publications, as participants in exhibitions and performances, or as lecturers/presenters at professional conferences. We promote active learning through internships, cooperative education placements and field studies that are available in virtually every area of study. While a few graduate students direct some undergraduate laboratory sections under faculty supervision, all courses are taught by faculty. About 100 highly qualified professionals are available to work with you on academic and personal matters and on educational and career decisions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

REGIONAL, LOCAL AND CAMPUS OVERVIEW

REGIONAL, LOCAL AND CAMPUS OVERVIEW You will be amazed by the extraordinary number and variety of activities that take place on campus. From concerts, theater productions, and art exhibitions to lectures and debates featuring well-known experts in a wide assortment of fields — from clubs, organizations, and student government to intercollegiate and intramural sports — you will discover that SUNY Plattsburgh offers something that appeals to every interest. Our campus complex consists of 35 buildings spread across 300 acres, and it provides an impressive setting for both academic and extracurricular pursuits. Our grounds are clean and our buildings are free of litter. Our students, faculty and staff alike take pride in and good care of their campus and its facilities. Our campus is bordered on three sides by a pleasant residential neighborhood; its eastern-most boundary is the Saranac River.

Students Students who live on and off campus while attending classes at SUNY Plattsburgh are welcomed and appreciated for what they contribute educationally, culturally, economically and socially to the community. In fall 2008, just over 6,350 students enrolled at SUNY Plattsburgh. While nearly 93 percent of the 5,736 undergraduate students were attending full-time, just over 45 percent of the 622 graduate students were taking classes on a part-time basis. Women outnumbered men 58 percent to 42 percent, and just over 10 percent of all students identified themselves of Black, Hispanic, Asian or Native American/Alaskan ethnicity. The greatest number of Plattsburgh students come from three major New York regions — the Metropolitan area (Long Island, Westchester, and Rockland counties), the North Country, and the Capital District. While 4percent of the students come from other states such as Vermont, New Jersey, California, Texas, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, over 6percent come to SUNY Plattsburgh from such countries as Japan, Canada, China, India, Nepal, Tanzania, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Academic and Administrative Facilities Our academic and administrative facilities consist of a number of buildings primarily in the center of campus. The majority of our administrative offices are located in the Kehoe Administration Building. Our academic buildings house our classrooms, labs, and faculty offices.

Beaumont Hall

Beaumont Hall is the center for the study of psychology and biological sciences. Faculty offices, classrooms and laboratories are located throughout the threestory complex along with a major suite for behavioral psychology, seminar rooms and a computer instruction laboratory. The college’s Auditory Research Laboratory and the North Country Traumatic Brain Injury Center are also housed in this facility.

Canada House

Canada House, located next to Redcay Hall, serves as the home for the Center for the Study of Canada, which supports the most comprehensive undergraduate Canadian studies program in the U.S., and the Institute on Québec Studies. Canada House also serves as a teacher resource center and hosts a number of visiting Canadian scholars, politicians and notable guests every year. A growing collection of Canadian art is always on display.

Champlain Valley Hall

At one time, Champlain Valley Hall served as a residence for nursing students training at the local hospital. Today, Champlain Valley Hall houses many of the traditional humanities programs including English, foreign languages and literature, history and philosophy. Students can be found scattered throughout the

building attending classes or meeting with faculty in their offices. Champlain Valley Hall also houses CV Commons, a lounge area where students will often be found studying before or after classes or attending one of the guest lectures offered by the departments in the building. Featuring a fireplace, artwork and a number of comfortable chairs and tables, CV Commons is a popular hangout amongst students and faculty alike.

Feinberg Library

The Benjamin F. Feinberg Library provides students, faculty, researchers and guests with comprehensive information services in a comfortable and welcoming environment. On-site collections and services are complemented by a large array of online offerings that provide patrons with worldwide access to the best information available. Patrons find Feinberg Library to be exceptionally conducive to research and study, and appreciate the outstanding professional staff available to assist with all of their information needs. In addition to being available both in person and online to assist users, librarians teach one-credit general education courses on information and technology literacy. These critical courses focus on the access, retrieval, evaluation, and management of information. They include a basic introduction to research databases and strategies, computer use, technology issues and common academic software. Feinberg Library is a selective depository for U.S. government documents and a designated New York State Document Research Depository Library. Feinberg is also a selective depository of Canadian government documents. Our Special Collections unit serves the interests of SUNY Plattsburgh students and faculty and is also open to professional scholars and other researchers. This unique collection houses materials on New York state with an emphasis on the northern counties of Clinton, Essex, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Hamilton, Herkimer, and Warren. Special Collections contains the college Archives and is home to manuscripts, photographs, books, and journals that document the history of the North Country. Feinberg Library houses more than 367,000 volumes and provides access to more than 28,000 periodicals, both in print and online. Patrons find access to a full range of digital and print information resources and applications in the library’s Reference and Electronic Search Services Center.

The Admissions Office is located on the 10th floor of the Kehoe Administration Building and may be reached by telephone at 518-564-2040 or 888-673-0012 from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on weekdays.

Application Procedures

Prospective students can apply to SUNY Plattsburgh through either the SUNY Application or the Common Application. Although there are no strict deadlines, applications receive optimal consideration when submitted by Dec. 1 (for freshman applicants) and March 1 (for transfer applicants) for the fall semester, and by Nov.1 for the spring semester. Candidates are encouraged to apply early. Applications are available directly from the Admissions Office at Plattsburgh, from any New York state high school guidance office or online at www.plattsburgh.edu/admissions/apply.php. The purpose of the application process is to provide the college with information necessary to make an appropriate admissions decision. A competitive selection process is necessary because the number of applicants exceeds the number of available openings. Because admission is competitive, students are encouraged to follow a rigorous college-preparatory program at the high school level, rather than one which meets only minimum requirements. It is also required that applicants submit one letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor and a 250-word personal statement or essay.

Interviews/Visits to the College

Interviews and visits to the campus are strongly encouraged but not required. Appointments for personal interviews and campus tours are available on weekdays throughout the year. Saturday tours and group presentations are also offered from late September through early May. Appointments should be made two weeks in advance. Open Houses are held annually during the fall, spring, and summer. Additional information and arrangements for visits can be obtained by contacting the Admissions Office.

Freshman Admission

Freshmen are defined as students who have not enrolled in college course work, or whose only college courses were completed prior to high school graduation.

Score reports will be accepted by the Admissions Office either directly from the testing agency (College Board or ACT), or as part of the official high school transcript. If an applicant submits multiple SAT scores, the Admissions Office will select the highest critical reading and math scores from different exams. The SAT writing scores are not factored into the admissions decision currently. Admissions evaluation of SAT and ACT is subordinate to the primary admission requirements of a solid, college-preparatory high school program and competitive grades. No minimum SAT score is required; however, a combined SAT of at least 1000 (critical reading and math scores) or an ACT composite of at least 22 is highly recommended. 4. Satisfactory final high school grades for senior year. 5. Submission of at least one letter of recommendation from a teacher/counselor. 6. Submission of a 250-word personal statement or essay.

Specific Curricular Considerations

Most accepted students are admitted directly into the program of their choice. Therefore, admissions decisions are influenced by both the content and the quality of an applicant’s high school record. Consideration is given to the following high school courses, which are required for admission to the respective curricula: 1. Programs requiring three units of high school mathematics (including Math 11, Sequential Math 3, Intermediate Algebra, or Math A and B) are accounting; business; computer science; economics; engineering 3 + 2; entrepreneurship; finance; global supply chain management; information technology; nursing; nutrition; hotel, restaurant, and tourism management; international business; management; management information systems; marketing; and all science and mathematics majors. 2.

Transfer applicants must submit a SUNY Undergraduate Application. Official transcripts from all prior colleges should be forwarded directly to Plattsburgh’s Admissions Office. Transfer candidates who have completed fewer than 24 semester hours at the time of application must also forward an official high school transcript and standardized test scores to the Admissions Office. Transfer applications will be evaluated on the following criteria: 1. Cumulative grade point average based upon course work taken at all previously attended colleges. Students with cumulative GPAs below 2.0 on a 4.0 scale will not be considered for admission. Actual GPA requirements for admission depend upon the academic program to which the student is applying. 2. Content of the course of study. 3. Academic grade point average trend.

Transfer Credit

Decisions regarding the use of transfer credit to meet the requirements of a specific academic major are made by the assistant director for transfer admissions in consultation with the appropriate academic deans, program directors and chairpersons. The college accepts credit from regionally accredited institutions of higher education and from recognized candidates for accreditation. All satisfactorily completed courses taken at these institutions of higher education are evaluated on a course-by-course basis in accordance with the following guidelines: 1. Students transferring from two-year colleges may be granted a maximum of 67 semester hours earned at two-year colleges. 2. Students transferring from four-year colleges may transfer up to 84 semester hours provided that at 16 www.plattsburgh.edu

least 17 of those hours were earned at four-year colleges. 3. Students from colleges or universities on a quarterhour system receive two semester hours of transfer credit for every three quarter hours completed. 4. Specific courses and credit hours transfer; course grades and quality points do not. 5. English composition will transfer only with a grade of C or better. 6. Courses transferring into the major must have an overall cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C). 7. Courses completed with a D grade or better may be accepted for transfer credit, unless a grade higher than D is required in that course in order to maintain satisfactory progress in a specific curriculum at SUNY Plattsburgh. If a student is accepted and enrolled at the college and subsequently wishes to take courses at another institution he/she must process a Permission for Off-Campus Study form. More information about our transfer credit policy can be found at www.plattsburgh/ admissions/transfers/credits/policy.php.

Credit by Examination

In accordance with SUNY policy, students may apply up to 30 credit hours earned through published collegelevel examinations toward the fulfillment of degree requirements. Credit earned by examination will not be counted toward satisfaction of the college’s residency requirements. The subject matter of examinations must be compatible in substance and level with courses offered at the college. Decisions concerning the appropriate use of such credit are made by the assistant director for transfer admissions in consultation with the appropriate academic deans, program directors, and chairpersons. In addition to the sections below, please visit www.plattsburgh.edu/admissions/transfers/ credits/exams.php for more information about credit by examination.

Advanced Placement Program (AP)

The AP program of The College Board is designed to enable students to earn college credit while in high school. Examinations are graded on a scale of one to five, with five the highest grade. SUNY Plattsburgh awards credit for grades of three or higher in most subjects. Information concerning the Advanced Placement Program may be obtained from high school guidance offices or by visiting www.collegeboard.com/ apcentral.

College Level Examination Program

Credit can be earned through satisfactory performance on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the General Examinations, and the Subject Examinations. The college follows the recommended

scores required for credit for the General and Subject Examinations as established by the Commission on Educational Credit of the American Council on Education. The General Examinations are considered equivalent to the first year of college study; scores may be submitted for credit only when taken prior to the completion of 30 credit hours of college-level course work. CLEP information may be obtained from the College Board at www.collegeboard.com/student/ testing/clep/about.html. Information about CLEP examinations may be obtained from the Academic Advising Office, Feinberg 103, 518-564-2080 or 800388-6473.

Military Credit

Credit will be granted, when applicable, for educational experience in the armed services according to recommendations contained in the most recent American Council on Education publication, A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services.

Transfer Students and General Education

SUNY Plattsburgh recognizes that general education courses are an integral part of the total degree program, and that they are of equal importance to courses in the major field of study. The college supports the position of the State University of New York that transfer students should not be required to repeat general education courses. Each student’s transcript is evaluated individually and credit for completion of general education requirements is given whenever appropriate.

Joint Admissions Agreements

Plattsburgh has entered into joint admissions agreements with a variety of two-year colleges within the SUNY system. These agreements provide for the acceptance of students to both institutions at the same time. Joint admissions allow students to bypass another admissions application when they receive an associate degree from their two-year college, providing they complete a parallel program and meet certain grade standards. Participants in a joint admissions program receive SUNY Plattsburgh information while they are completing their associate degrees and invitations to attend various campus functions at the college. Joint admissions agreements currently exist with the following institutions: Adirondack Community College; Clinton Community College; Hudson Valley Community College; North Country Community College; and Ulster Community College. Interested students should contact the Admissions Office of the above-mentioned two-year colleges, or SUNY Plattsburgh.

Readmission Policy

Students are subject to the college graduation requirements which are in effect during the semester they are admitted to SUNY Plattsburgh and the program graduation requirements in effect during the semester they declare their major in that program. Students who are readmitted to the college are subject to the college and program requirements in effect during the semester they are readmitted. However, students readmitted to the college having previously withdrawn or been dismissed from the college at the senior level (85 credits or more) may elect to be readmitted under the college graduation requirements in effect at the time of their initial admission and the program requirements in effect at the time of their declaration of major (provided readmission is into the same major) so long as the duration of their separation from SUNY Plattsburgh is three semesters or fewer, the required courses are still available, and the program meets mandated certification requirements where relevant. All courses completed at SUNY Plattsburgh, both before and after 18 www.plattsburgh.edu

3. Courses with a grade high enough to warrant transfer credit had they been taken at another institution will be counted toward meeting graduation requirements, but the grade will not be computed toward the student’s GPA. 4. While the student’s GPA after readmission will be computed based only on grades for subsequent courses taken at the college, the earlier academic record of the student prior to readmission will remain without change. 5. Requests for special consideration will be reviewed and granted no later than the time the readmitted student begins classes.

Readmission Procedures

Students previously matriculated at SUNY Plattsburgh who wish to re-enroll must apply for readmission. The application for readmission is available from the Admissions Office or can be downloaded from the Admissions Web site www.plattsburgh.edu/admissions/ readmit.php.

Students who have been dismissed from the college for academic reasons may not apply for readmission for at least one semester following their dismissal. Students who have been dismissed twice from the college will not be granted readmission until they have raised their GPA to the equivalent of a 2.0 through the non-matriculated student process. (If a student was dismissed for plagiarism, readmission may be denied for up to five years.)

Students who have been academically dismissed from the college are not allowed to take any courses at SUNY Plattsburgh during the semester immediately following their dismissal. They are, however, allowed to take courses as a non-matriculated student thereafter. Grades earned in courses taken as a non-matriculated student at SUNY Plattsburgh are computed in the college GPA.

Financial Aid

SUNY Plattsburgh’s Office of Financial Aid administers programs designed to assist students in securing financial resources to help pay for college. This office processes over $50 million in financial assistance each academic year. Financial aid is offered through federal, state, veterans, institutional, and private programs. The following sections summarize these programs, including application procedures, eligibility criteria, guidelines, and award amounts. The section also describes the academic standards that students must satisfy while attending SUNY Plattsburgh in order to remain eligible for federal and state aid programs. All information cited below is subject to change without notification. Additional information can be found on the financial aid Web site. Financial Aid Office Telephone: 518-564-2072 SUNY Plattsburgh, Kehoe 406 Toll Free: 877-768-5976 101 Broad St. Fax: 518-564-4079 Plattsburgh, N.Y. 12901 e-mail: finaid@plattsburgh.edu Web site: www.plattsburgh.edu/financialaid

Federal Aid Programs and Eligibility

To apply for federal aid programs, click “Apply for Aid” on our Web page www.plattsburgh.edu/ financialaid and follow the steps. If you apply for federal aid programs, the Financial Aid Office will determine your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and workstudy based upon your responses on the federal application (FAFSA). Our Web pages includes descriptions of these programs. In order to be eligible for federal aid, students must file the FAFSA, meet federal citizenship and residency requirements, possess a social security number, register with Selective Service (males only), have a high school diploma or its equivalent, and matriculate in a degree program at SUNY Plattsburgh. All federal aid programs require students to enroll for at least six credits per semester, excluding the Pell Grant under specific circumstances. Matriculated students may only receive aid for courses that are required for their degree. Students may receive federal aid only once for a course with an acceptable grade earned for graduation. Receiving aid for a repeat course is only allowed if the student received an initial grade that was not acceptable for graduation and the repeat is required for graduation.

Students cannot be in default on federal loans and must meet all federal standards for academic progress each semester. (See Satisfactory Academic Progress.) For all federal loans, students must sign a promissory note, pass an entrance interview, and complete an exit interview. Students selected for verification by the federal government must furnish income and household data upon request. In addition, due to government regulations, students may need to submit additional information to the office upon request. All of these requirements and other requirements that students must satisfy are described in the Federal Student Aid Handbook www.ifap.ed.gov. All federal financial aid awards are contingent upon the enrollment status of the student at the time of the award. Changes in enrollment status may result in changes to the award. For example, if a student registers with a full-time course load (at least 12 credits) and then drops below full-time, the student may lose a portion of federal aid and be responsible for repaying the funds to the federal government or the college. The amount to repay is calculated from a formula provided by the federal government. Failure to repay funds may result in a loss of aid eligibility for all federal student aid at SUNY Plattsburgh and any other institutions, and account holds, as well. Note that students not matriculated in a degree program at SUNY Plattsburgh may be eligible for subsidized loans, unsubsidized loans, and parent loans if they are enrolled in a structured undergraduate preparatory program that will qualify them to apply for admission into a graduate degree program. All other non-degree students may consider applying for alternative loans.

State Aid Programs and Eligibility

Our Web pages include descriptions of state aid programs. The most common state aid programs include the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and other state programs offered by the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC). To apply for the Tuition Assistance Program, click “Apply for Aid” on our Web page at www.plattsburgh. edu/financialaid and follow the relevant steps. To apply for other state aid programs, follow the instructions provided by the specific aid program. These are available online at www.hesc.org. In order to be eligible for TAP, students must complete the online TAP application or Express TAP Application, satisfy state residency requirements, and progress each semester. (See Satisfactory Academic Progress.) Students must be enrolled in a New York state institution full-time and meet GPA requirements. Matriculated students may only receive aid for courses that are required for their degree. Students may receive state aid only once for a course with an acceptable grade earned for graduation. Receiving aid for a repeat course is only allowed if the student received an initial grade that was not acceptable and the repeat is required for graduation. Due to state regulations, students may need to submit additional information to our office upon request. All of these requirements and other requirements that students must satisfy are

described in the HESC Guide to Grants, Scholarship, and Awards online at www.hesc.org. Similar to federal aid, all state financial aid awards are contingent upon the enrollment status of the student at the time of the award. Changes in enrollment status may result in changes to the award. For example, students will lose a TAP award if their enrollment status falls below full-time (at least 12 credits) prior to the end of the fourth week of the semester. If changes in enrollment status reduce award levels, students may be responsible for repaying the funds to the state government or the college. Failure to repay funds may result in a loss of aid eligibility for all state aid at SUNY Plattsburgh and any other institutions, and account holds, as well.

Institutional Aid Programs and Eligibility

SUNY Plattsburgh offers more than $4 million in scholarships, grants, and housing discounts. Award amounts generally range from $500 to $5,000 per year. These awards are usually based upon academic achievement or financial need, and some have GPA requirements and other criteria for renewal. Student Accounts offers two payment plans that are designed to assist those students and their families who find it difficult to pay their total bill by the due date. A payment plan form may be downloaded at www.plattsburgh.edu/studentaccounts. The Office of Admissions, International Student Services, and academic departments award most institutional grants, scholarships, and housing discounts. New students’ eligibility for awards is determined through review of academic records undertaken by the Office of Admissions (518-564-2040) for new domestic students and by International Student Services (518564-3287) for new international students. In the spring, academic departments select continuing students from within their major for grants and scholarships based upon academic achievement. Visit our Web pages or contact one of these departments for more information on institutional programs. Some institutional awards have criteria that students must satisfy in order for the award to be renewed from semester to semester (e.g., minimum GPAs, on-campus residence, etc.). In order to renew an award, students must satisfy all the criteria outlined in their initial award letter. The Financial Aid Office evaluates whether students satisfy these criteria at the end of each semester. Once the evaluation is complete, Financial Aid cancels all aid for which the student did not satisfy the standards and notifies the student. The first time a student fails a GPA standard, the student is automatically assigned one semester of probation and the award is reinstated for this probationary semester. If the student does not satisfy all the standards at the end of this probationary semester or in any future semester, the student becomes ineligible for the award. Institutional awards cancelled for these reasons are lost permanently.

EXPENSES & FINANCIAL AID

EXPENSES & FINANCIAL AID Private Aid Programs and Eligibility

Private financial aid programs generally include grants and scholarships from non-profit organizations and alternative loans from banks and other lenders. The sponsor determines the application procedures for private grants and scholarships, such as Gates Millennium and Elks Scholarship. Students can use one of the search engines listed on our Web pages to search for private grants and scholarships. Some banks offer alternative loans to students who need additional assistance in meeting college costs. The most common alternative loans at SUNY Plattsburgh are listed at our Web site.

Veterans Affairs Aid Programs and Eligibility

Financial aid staff is available to assist students in obtaining educational benefits sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Veterans, active duty service personnel, and their families may be eligible for funding through Chapter 30 (New GI Bill), Chapter 32 (VEAP), Chapter 34 (Rollover), Chapter 35 (DEA), and Chapter 1606 (Reserves and National Guard). For example, the New GI Bill entitles eligible service members and veterans to up to 36 months of civilian education. Service members contribute $100 a month for 12 months to their educational fund; the government adds $9,600 for a total of $10,800 in educational benefits. For more information, contact a Veterans Benefit Counselor (888-442-4551) or visit the VA Web site www.va.gov and select education benefit programs. This Web site includes an online application for VA education benefits, called VONAPP.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

Students must satisfy minimum academic standards in order to remain eligible for federal and state aid programs. The Financial Aid Office evaluates whether students satisfy these standards at the end of each semester. Based on the evaluation, Financial Aid assigns a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) status for the upcoming semester or may be required to cancel all financial aid for which the student is ineligible.

Federal Standards

The standards for federal aid programs depend upon the number of academic years completed by the student. (See table below.) For example, a student who has completed two years must have an earned-toattempted ratio of at least 53 percent, earned at least 32 credits during his/her academic career, have a GPA of at least 2.0 at SUNY Plattsburgh, and have four years of eligibility remaining. Upon request from the student, the number of years remaining will be adjusted for students who have graduated and are working on their second degree. The first time a student fails a federal standard other than maximum time frame, the student is automatically assigned one semester of probation and continues to receive federal aid during this probationary semester. If the student does not satisfy all standards by the end of this probationary semester or in any future semester, the student becomes ineligible for federal aid 24 www.plattsburgh.edu

the following semester. Note that pass (P) grades are considered completed credits, although the following are not: failure (E), incomplete (I), withdrawal from course (W), withdrawal from college (WC), non-credit (NC), non-available (N), proficiency (PR), and audit (AU). Students may repeat coursework in accordance with college academic policy. (See Repeating a Course in the Academic Policies, Standards, and Information section of this catalog.) Students may continue to attend without federal aid or appeal to waive ineligibility by following the instructions in the section below. (See Appeal for a Waiver.)

__________________________________________________

State Standards

The standards for state aid programs depend upon the number of TAP points consumed by the student. (See table below.) Students consume 6 points for each full-time semester with a TAP award, and 3 points for each part-time summer semester with a TAP award. For example, a student with 30 TAP points must have completed 12 credits during the last semester with a TAP award at SUNY Plattsburgh, have earned at least 45 credits during his/her academic career, and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 at SUNY Plattsburgh. TAP recipients are also required to declare a major by the time 57 credits are earned by the student. Unlike federal regulations, the states does not have a probationary semester. The first time a student fails one of these standards, the student is ineligible for TAP and other NYS awards the following semester. Note that incomplete (I) and failure (E) grades are considered completed credits, although the following are not: withdrawal from course (W), withdrawal from college (WC), non-credit (NC), non-available (N), proficiency (PR), and audit (AU). Students may only repeat coursework if the course is both required for graduation and the student did not originally receive a grade that is

required for graduation. Students may appeal to waive ineligibility. (See Appeal for a Waiver.)

Appeal for a Waiver

If students have not exceeded the maximum time frame for federal aid or maximum TAP points, they can regain eligibility through two options. First, students can attend without federal and state aid while addressing all of the failed standards. Students will become eligible again once all the minimum standards are satisfied. In this situation, students could consider using an alternative loan to help fund educational expenses. Second, students may appeal for a waiver. Waivers are warranted under extraordinary and unusual circumstances beyond the control of the student that had an inevitable impact on academic performance. The student must thoroughly and comprehensively document the circumstances in writing from credible sources. There must also be a reasonable expectation that the student will meet all future requirements. In general, students may receive only one waiver in their academic career. A waiver is only valid for one semester. By the end of this semester, students must satisfy all of the academic standards in order to regain eligibility. Appeal forms and instructions are available at www. plattsburgh.edu/financialaid (click on “Forms”). Students may not appeal the maximum time frame for federal aid or maximum TAP points for state aid.

Taking advantage of the college’s ideal location, ADX provides both academic and recreational opportunities for all members of the college community, regardless of age or abilities. Whether enrolled in the academic major or minor in expeditionary studies or simply interested in specific classes, students can take advantage of the extensive curricular offerings, including beginner through advanced courses in paddlesports, rock and ice climbing, and backcountry skiing. Beginner level classes take place in local settings, including the waters of Lake Champlain, the rock and ice cliffs of the Adirondacks, and backcountry ski trails and peaks throughout the North Country woods and mountains. Advanced level classes take advantage of regional settings and also travel to distant locales. Expeditionary studies is a rigorous major integrating outdoor skills with academic materials. The major includes a foundation in the liberal arts, in such courses as “The History and Culture of the Expedition,” and advanced skill training in technical climbing, skiing, or paddling. A two-course capstone sequence, “Expedition Theory and Planning” and the “Senior Expedition,” completes the program. The minor in expeditionary studies is an ideal supplement for majors in any field. Students in expeditionary studies gain the type of training and experiences that qualify them for outdoor leadership roles in adventure-based counseling, outdoor education, and state and national park services. (For details, see the Expeditionary Studies Department in the Academic Departments, Centers, and Major Programs section of this catalog.) In addition to its academic offerings, ADX supports an active Outing Club, which provides weekly trips for the experienced and inexperienced alike, along with training opportunities for those interested in outdoor leadership. ADX also sponsors “The Adventure Lecture Series,” bringing to campus speakers and films dealing with outdoor experiences. Recent programs have included Heather Paul’s presentation on her ski mountaineering expedition to the Chinese Altai Mountains, snowboarder Stephen Koch’s coverage of his descents from the Tetons to Tibet, Shelly Johnson’s talks on her sea kayak adventures, and expeditioneer Henry Barber’s multi-media lectures on rock climbing, global business, and the history of climbing ethics. Annually sponsored ADX events include The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, The Lake Champlain Sea Kayak Institute, and training development courses such as Wilderness First Responder. The Adirondack Experience supports the goals of the greater SUNY Plattsburgh mission, in its commitment to train students as outdoor leaders and educators, to create recreational opportunities for all members of the campus community in the Lake Champlain/Adirondack

region, to emphasize environmental ethics as a component of all outdoor education, and to promote the benefits of skilled and thoughtful outdoor recreation and leadership as meaningful dimensions of lifelong learning. ADX offices are located at 102 Broad St.. Facilities include faculty offices, a resource center, and an equipment room, which supplies all gear for outdoor courses and offers rentals at affordable prices.

Center for Teaching Excellence The Center for Teaching Excellence at SUNY Plattsburgh promotes and supports strategies and activities that strengthen our faculty’s teaching on behalf of our students. The center sponsors workshops on pedagogies and teaching practices, facilitates discussions on teaching in organized faculty learning communities, and provides consultative assistance to the faculty on a wide range of issues that concern teaching. The center is located in Room 301 Feinberg Library, phone 518-5643043.

Center for the Study of Canada Established in 1975, the Center for the Study of Canada is dedicated to promoting and providing comprehensive scholarly professional development programs on Canada to academic, government, and business constituents in the United States. Recognized as a Title VI National Resource Center on Canada by the United States Department of Education since 1983, the center is at the forefront of innovative Canadian-focused curricular, research, and program initiatives. Center staff plan and implement an extensive national educational outreach program that includes workshops, seminars, institutes and conferences. The center is located in a beautiful home at 133 Court St.. This setting serves as an ideal locale for receiving distinguished guests who visit the campus each semester, as a teacher resource center, and as headquarters for the dissemination of information to promote teaching, research and professional development initiatives on Canada.

Honors Program The Honors Program is a special program of educational opportunities; it is a sign of the college’s commitment to provide the best education for its best students, and its recognition that most students realize the quality of their education will help determine their future. The program unites students and faculty in small seminars and research projects that enable students to have greater freedom and responsibility for their education. The program assumes that excellence can be achieved in any area of formal study, and that the most

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

SPECIAL PROGRAMS satisfying and rewarding form of learning occurs when curiosity is aroused. The program helps students realize their educationalgoals in two levels. The first, General Honors, is designed for freshmen and sophomores. Students complete four special honors seminars in approximately their first four semesters. Each seminar is limited to about 15 students and is taught by faculty who have a reputation of excellence in teaching. Seminar topics vary and each seminar satisfies a general education requirement. Through student representatives on the Honors Council, all students in the program can participate in the development of the General Honors seminars. The program continually searches for and implements innovative and challenging educational experiences. For example, specially designed learning communities are sometimes offered which associate an Honors Seminar with one or two non-honors courses related by subject and content. Occasionally, distance-learning experiences are available which allow students to work with faculty at other colleges and universities in the U.S. The second level of this program is Advanced Honors. Ordinarily juniors and seniors are admitted to this portion of the program. Advanced Honors work continues the goals and ideals of General Honors, except the work is focused in the student’s major and requires that students design and carry out a project in research, in performance, in fieldwork, or whatever else would be appropriate to a particular major. Students share the results of their project with others. A number of academic programs have developed Advanced Honors opportunities for their students. Students should inquire about the availability of Advanced Honors opportunities in their field of study at the Honors Center. Admission to the Honors Program is likely on a spaceavailable basis for any interested student whose high school average is 92 or above and whose combined SAT score is 1250 or above, or whose GPA is 3.5 or higher. Students who do not meet these standards but who would like to be in the program are frequently admitted after consultation with the Honors Program director. Facilities include seminar rooms, a computer lab, a small library, and a pleasant study/lounge area. Students may contact us at Redcay Honors Center, Hawkins Hall 121-123, 518-564-3075, or visit www.plattsburgh.edu/ honorscenter.

Institute for Ethics in Public Life In its mission statement, SUNY Plattsburgh has identified fostering students’ commitment to ethical values and responsible citizenship as major objectives. This requires that students acquire an understanding of ethical sensitivity and reasoning in terms of their future professional roles, as well as in their public responsibilities as citizens. To enable the college to meet this commitment to its students, the Institute for Ethics in Public Life was established on the campus in 1998. The purpose of the 32 www.plattsburgh.edu

institute is to provide faculty with the opportunity and support for sustained review of ethical issues in their disciplines, with the intent that they will then be able to construct for students, both in their own courses and through curriculum leadership within their departments, newly designed educational experiences. These experiences will provide students with an understanding of ethical sensitivity and reasoning especially as they relate to their professional preparation. Each semester three faculty members are selected as fellows at the institute, where they work at developing their skills in teaching ethics and civic responsibility.

Study Abroad and Exchanges Study abroad programs offer students an opportunity to explore new and exciting cultures while studying at internationally respected institutions. In this era of global economics, Internet communications, and worldwide technological advancement, an understanding of other cultures and languages has become increasingly important. SUNY Plattsburgh currently has study abroad agreements with institutions in Australia, Canada, Chile, China, England, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and Switzerland. Students may also apply to more than 400 programs in more than 60 countries through other SUNY institutions. These programs provide students with opportunities to become immersed in the academic and cultural life of the host countries. Specifically, students may study the language, literature, art, culture, geography, history, economy, government, and social institutions of individual countries and world regions. Courses are offered in all academic fields (French, Spanish, economics, literature, science, computer science, history, politics, sociology, geography, and anthropology, to mention a few). Students who meet the minimum GPA requirement range of 2.5 to 3.3 are eligible to apply for any study abroad program administered by SUNY Plattsburgh or other SUNY institutions. Credits earned through a SUNY study abroad program are applicable toward a student’s degree requirements at SUNY Plattsburgh provided a grade that would be acceptable at SUNY Plattsburgh is earned in the course. However, before going abroad students must submit a Permission for Off Campus Study form (available at the Global Education office) in order to have the courses they plan to take evaluated for SUNY Plattsburgh equivalences. The final grades and credit hours are recorded on the Plattsburgh transcript but are not normally factored into the GPA. Students who have participated in a SUNY-approved study abroad program (outside the U.S.) may request to have the grades earned in that program count in their GPA. If such an election is made, it must include all the courses computed in the specific program (including any D’s and E’s), and the request (in the form of a written note signed by the student and approved by his/her advisor, chairperson, and dean) must reach the Registrar’s Office no more than one semester after

completion of the study abroad course work and prior to final degree clearance. All students must complete a minimum of 36 credit hours at SUNY Plattsburgh, but students completing their final course in a SUNY study abroad and/or student exchange program are exempt from the requirement that 30 of their last 36 credits be completed at Plattsburgh. Any semester-long, approved, satisfactorily completed study abroad program will satisfy the Integration requirement of the General Education Program. Detailed information on all SUNY programs, including eligibility requirements, cost and application forms, are available at the Global Education Office, 102 Broad St., 518-564-2321, or via e-mail globaleducation@ plattsburgh.edu. Interested students may also visit our Web site at www.plattsburgh.edu/academics/ studyabroad. NOTE: Plattsburgh students participating in SUNY study abroad programs may apply for special scholarships through the Global Education Office. Certain eligibility criteria apply.

Short-Term Study Abroad Programs

SUNY Plattsburgh offers various short-term study abroad programs throughout the year. The destinations and number change annually. In the past, programs have taken place in Mexico, France, Nepal, China, Nicaragua, Croatia, Martinique, Canada, and England. Students interested in current short-term programs

should contact the Global Education Office at globaleducation@plattsburgh.edu or 518-564-2321.

National Student Exchange

The National Student Exchange (NSE) offers fulltime, undergraduate students an opportunity to study for a semester or academic year at one of over 180 member state colleges and universities located in all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Canada. The purpose of the NSE is to provide students with the opportunity to access different courses, internships, or field studies while living in a different geographical and cultural setting. NSE offers two payment plans: Plan A where the student pays the host institution’s in-state tuition rate and Plan B where the student pays normal SUNY Plattsburgh tuition while attending another NSE institution. The NSE experience is seldom more expensive than attending your home institution, excluding travel. Students eligible to participate in the NSE are usually sophomores, juniors, or seniors at the time of participation. All participants must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher and demonstrate adaptability, motivation, and the ability to act as a good ambassador for their home campus. The NSE Directory of participating campuses, applications, and college catalogs for participating campuses are available at the Global Education Office, 102 Broad St.; telephone, 518-564-2321.

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION Academic Advisement

Students who have declared a major are assigned advisors by their academic departments. Students who have not yet chosen a major are advised by selected members of the faculty and staff. The academic advisor assists students in choosing courses, in understanding college policies and procedures, in learning about and utilizing college services and resources, and in fulfilling their educational and professional goals. The responsibility to meet the requirements for graduation at the intended graduation date, both with respect to selecting courses and to completing them satisfactorily, rests with the student. Pre-Professional Advisement: Students interested in pre-professional areas (e.g., pre-law, pre-med, etc.) should consult the assistant to the vice president for academic affairs/director of academic advising for the names of appropriate faculty or advisory committees.

Academic Honesty Policy

Academic honesty is essential to the intellectual health of the university and the ideals of education. SUNY Plattsburgh expects students to be honest and to conduct themselves with integrity in all aspects of their relationship with the college (e.g., application, transfer evaluation, academic progress review, and credit and non-credit bearing experiences, including regular course work, independent studies, internships, practica, student teaching, and interactions with faculty, staff, and students). Academic dishonesty adversely affects the educational function of the college and undermines the integrity of its programs. Dishonest conduct includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, forgery, and alteration of records, along with any lying, deceit, bribery, coercion, or intimidation for the purpose of influencing a grade or for any other academic gain. Submitting one’s work originally completed for a different class is also dishonest unless the current instructor has agreed in advance to accept such a resubmission or reuse of academic work. Action against a student determined to have violated the academic honesty policy can range from a reduction of the grade on an assignment, through failure of a course, to suspension or even dismissal from the academic program, the department, or the college. A student who is charged with academic dishonesty will be afforded due process through the College Judicial System. (See Procedures for Addressing Suspected Academic Dishonesty, available at deans’ offices and at www.plattsburgh.edu/offices/academic/provost.)

Academic Honor Code

All members of the SUNY Plattsburgh community affirm our belief in honesty, trust, and respect for others. Therefore, we affirm our support for academic honesty in our personal conduct and in our responsibility toward this institution. 34 www.plattsburgh.edu

Academic Progress Standards

Students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward the completion of a degree in order to remain in good academic standing. For this purpose, good academic standing shall mean that a matriculated student is eligible for, or has been allowed to register for and undertake, academic course work for the semester in question. Students in good standing may also be on academic probation. Students whose cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0 are subject to academic dismissal from the college. Based on review of their academic record and submission of an appeal, they may be allowed to continue at SUNY Plattsburgh on academic probation, or they may be academically dismissed. Students who are academically dismissed and who raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or above by attending winter or summer session(s) at SUNY Plattsburgh may request to be considered for readmission for the following semester. Students who are academically dismissed may not undertake coursework at SUNY Plattsburgh during the following semester (fall or spring). Permission to take courses as a non-matriculated student during the semester following dismissal may be granted through the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs because of extenuating circumstances. After one semester’s dismissal, students may apply for readmission for any subsequent semester, or they may take courses as a non-matriculated student (whereby the grades count toward the Plattsburgh GPA). Students are also reviewed each semester in order to determine their eligibility to be funded by certain financial aid programs. (See the Financial Aid section of this catalog.) Eligibility for financial aid funding does not guarantee that a student who fails to meet academic progress standards will be allowed to continue to attend the college.

Assessment

To determine the success of academic and cocurricular programs, students are expected to participate in college and departmental assessment activities, such as interviews, surveys, portfolios, and tests of skills and knowledge. The information obtained from these assessments will be used to improve curricula, teaching, and co-curricular programs; individual students’ results will be kept in strictest confidence. Information may be obtained from chairpersons or the provost/vice president for academic affairs, Kehoe second floor.

Auditing Courses

Students may audit courses on a space available basis if they have the permission of course instructors. Students who audit shall attend courses without working for or expecting to receive a grade or formal credit. Students who wish to receive an audit grade must follow the regular procedure of course registration.

Class Attendance

Students are expected to attend classes regularly as part of their responsibility for their education, and they will be held responsible for all class work missed regardless of the reasons for their absences. The standards of attendance are set by instructors for their own courses in keeping with the standards and policies of the college and their departments. Each instructor shall state in writing to students, at the beginning of each course, the attendance requirements of that course. Excused absences from class may only be granted by the instructor for his or her particular class. The instructor is vested with the authority to make the ultimate decision on whether or not to accept a student’s excuse for planning to miss classes (or for having missed classes) — with one exception; refer to the section on Education Law 224-A concerning students unable because of religious beliefs to attend classes on certain days. In emergency situations such as a death in the family, serious illness, or other unforeseen occurrence, a student who does not have time to notify his or her instructors may contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, Kehoe 606, 518-564-2280. That office will notify faculty of the situation affecting the individual student. Such notification should not be construed as authorization for the student to miss class. Any notification sent by an administrative office is merely a courtesy extended to the student to assist in a crisis situation. Routine requests by students to be excused from classes (to attend a family wedding, for longstanding medical appointments, etc.) must be made directly to the instructor.

Class Level

The student’s class level is based upon the number of credits earned toward graduation at any given time. The number of credits and levels are as follows: Lower Division: Upper Division:

Freshman 1 - 27 credits Sophomore 28 - 56 credits Junior 57 - 84 credits Senior 85 + credits

Consumer Complaint Process

Section 494C (j) of the U.S. Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, provides that persons have the right to file a written complaint if they believe they have been aggrieved by an institution of higher learning. In New York state, a complaint may be filed by any person with reason to believe that an institution has acted contrary to its published standards or that conditions at the institution appear to jeopardize the quality of the institution’s instructional program or the general welfare of its students. SUNY Plattsburgh has established an internal procedure to accommodate such complaints. Specific information about the regulation and the procedure, as well as complaint forms, are available in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, Kehoe 606.

Course Challenge

Students may request a course challenge examination/evaluation if they are enrolled in the course to be challenged and have filed an application prior to the end of the fourth week of class. Students may not challenge a course twice, or challenge courses in which they already have received a grade (including I, W, WC and AU). Credit earned by course challenge is recorded on the student’s transcript by the grade PC (pass by challenge). A list of courses which, because of their nature, content, or length, may not be challenged is available in the appropriate dean’s office. Courses which offer regular proficiency examination/evaluation are not generally open to challenge.

Course Registration

Information regarding procedures, dates, and times for course registration is published on the SUNY Plattsburgh Web site under “Register for Courses” www.plattsburgh. edu/register. Students register for classes during designated registration periods. A $40 late registration fee is charged if students do not adhere to registration deadlines. Students are responsible for the accuracy of their registration. Full-semester courses may be dropped from a student’s schedule within the first seven calendar days of the semester without notation of the dropped course(s) appearing on the student’s record. (In the case of courses that are less than full semester, see Registration Guidebook available at www.plattsburgh. edu/register for dates.) Thereafter, Course Schedule Adjustment Forms must be approved and submitted to the Registrar’s Office for processing. (See below.) Nonattendance does not remove tuition liability; students must either drop within the defined drop period, or officially withdraw from a course if they do not wish to remain enrolled in it. Registration is not valid until all financial obligations with the college have been met. The college reserves the right to withdraw a student for failure to meet the designated deadlines for registration and/or fee payment. Registration may also be denied for lack of prerequisites, for failure to comply with Health Center regulations, or for disciplinary action.

Course Withdrawal

For full-semester courses, commencing on the eighth calendar day of the semester (fall and spring) and ending at midnight on the Friday of the 10th week (fall and spring semesters), a student who submits a completed Course Schedule Adjustment Form may withdraw from any class, after consultation with his/ her course instructor and advisor and payment of a $20 course withdrawal fee. In the case of courses that are less than full semester, the student may withdraw from a class through the course schedule adjustment process until the midpoint of the course. The course withdrawal fee will apply at a point equivalent to the beginning of week two of a full semester. (The Registrar’s Office may be consulted, as needed, for precise dates.)

GENERAL INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION The academic record will indicate a grade of W, which is not computed into the grade point average. Course withdrawal is not normally allowed after the published withdrawal date. In extraordinary circumstances, however, or circumstances out of the student’s control, a student can appeal for a late course withdrawal to the dean under whose jurisdiction the course is offered. Extraordinary circumstances include such things as serious illness or a death in one’s immediate family. Poor academic performance is not considered an extraordinary circumstance. Appeals for late course withdrawal must be accompanied by documentation of the extraordinary circumstance. (These appeals must be submitted on or before the last day of the semester.) The effective date of the course withdrawal will be the last date of attendance if the Course Schedule Adjustment Form is received by the Registrar’s Office within seven days of the last day of attendance. Otherwise, the effective date of course withdrawal will be the date the form is received by the Registrar’s Office. Course withdrawal may affect tuition liability and other charges and the student’s financial aid eligibility or grace period repayment, medical insurance coverage, athletic eligibility, and timely completion of degree requirements. Students who withdraw from all courses through the course withdrawal process will be officially withdrawn from the college and relinquish the right to use all college services and privileges.

Credit by Examination

In accordance with SUNY policy, students enrolled at Plattsburgh may apply up to 30 credits earned through published subject examinations toward the fulfillment of baccalaureate degree requirements. This guarantee of credit for published examinations applies to the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the New York State College Proficiency Examination Program. Credit earned through these programs will be treated as transfer credit and will be subject to provisions specified under Credit by Examination in the Admissions section of this catalog. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the appropriate form and to get prior approval for credit evaluation. The student is also required to apply for the examinations, to pay appropriate testing fees, and to have the official test results forwarded to the Registrar’s Office. Final approval of credit will be made only after receipt of the official scores. Information about these examinations may be obtained from the Office of College Proficiency Examination Program, State Education Department, Albany, New York 12206, or from College-Level Examination Program, College Entrance Examination Board, Box 1822, Princeton, N.J. 08540. For information about local administration of CLEP, DANTES, and other tests, call 518-564-2080.

Credit Hour System: Time Commitment Expectation

SUNY Plattsburgh uses the credit hour system in determining course value toward degree requirements. 36 www.plattsburgh.edu

Under this system, a course which meets one hour each week for one semester is worth one credit hour (or one semester hour of credit) toward graduation. Most courses meet the equivalent of three hours per week and are therefore worth three credit hours. Students can expect the outside-of-class study time requirement to be a minimum of two to three hours for each hour of class. Thus, students can plan that each three-credit course will require at least six to nine hours per week of work outside of class. A minimum full-time academic work load is 12 credit hours per semester; the average load for undergraduates is 15-16 credits. The maximum number of credits for which undergraduate students may enroll without special permission during fall and spring semesters is 18. To take 19-23 credits per semester (or 16-18 credits in all sessions of one summer or 8-9 credits in winter session), students must have a 3.0 cumulative GPA and file with the Registrar’s Office an Authorization to Register for Credit Hour Overload form that has been approved by the student’s advisor, chairperson, and dean of their primary major. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 is required in order to apply for authorization to take over 23 credits in spring or fall, over 18 credits in all sessions of one summer, or over 9 credits in winter session.

Cross-Registration Guidelines

A cooperative arrangement permits full-time, matriculated, undergraduate students at SUNY Plattsburgh to cross-register for a maximum of two courses per year at other colleges with which we have a cross-registration agreement. Cross-registration enrollments at these colleges must be in courses not available or not accessible to the student at SUNY Plattsburgh. This program is available during the fall and spring semesters only. SUNY Plattsburgh students who plan to cross register must pay full-time tuition and fees and register for at least half of their academic load at SUNY Plattsburgh. No extra tuition charge is assessed, but students are responsible for any fees that may be required by the host institution for a particular course. Credits and grades earned through cross registration are recorded on the academic record, and they are calculated in the grade point average. Credits earned through cross registration also apply to the residency requirements. Students must have approval to cross register from their advisor and the chairperson (or designee) of their major department. Cross registration is dependent upon seat availability at the host institution, and registration, add/drop, and course withdrawal dates and procedures of the host institution must be followed. Cross-registration forms may be obtained at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Registrar’s Office, Kehoe 306 or online at www.plattsburgh.edu/register/.

Dean’s List

To be eligible for the Dean’s List, a student must achieve a minimum 3.5 semester grade point average, with at least 12 credit hours graded A through E. A parttime, matriculated student is eligible for the Dean’s List after accruing 12 credit hours (graded A through E) over

more than one semester in consecutive matriculated status, and achieving a 3.5 GPA. To be eligible for the Dean’s List again, the part-time student must accrue an additional 12 credit hours (graded A through E) over more than one semester in consecutive matriculated status, with a 3.5 GPA.

2. Any student in an institution of higher education who is unable, because of his or her religious beliefs, to attend classes on a particular day or days shall, because of such absence on the particular day or days, be excused from any examination or any study or work requirements.

Degree Requirements

3. It shall be the responsibility of the faculty and of the administrative officials of each institution of higher education to make available to each student who is absent from school, because of his or her religious beliefs, an equivalent opportunity to register for classes or make up any examination, study or work requirements which he or she may have missed because of such absence on any particular day or days. No fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making available to the said student such equivalent opportunity.

In addition to completing an academic major and general education requirements, candidates for bachelor’s degrees must also meet a number of other degree requirements. (See the Academic Plan section in this catalog.)

Developmental Courses

Courses which are developmental or remedial in content are identified in the online Banner Master Schedule by a “0” first digit in the course number (i.e., MAT 099). Credit for developmental courses does not count toward graduation, and grades earned are not computed into the student’s cumulative GPA. The credit does count toward the student’s total semester credit load.

Double Majors

Students who wish to double major must complete all specific requirements of both majors, including any required concentrations. Courses taken to complete a second major may also count in any category of the general education program. The advanced writing course is a major requirement within each major; therefore, students with double majors will take two advanced writing courses. Double majors may only be declared in two separately registered degree programs, e.g., history and marketing. Double majors may not be declared in study options within a registered degree program, e.g., Art (Art History) and Art (Art Studio). Double major work must be done in consultation with an advisor from each academic program. Only one degree (B.A. or B.S.) is awarded. Students matriculated at SUNY Plattsburgh may not pursue two baccalaureate degrees simultaneously but may complete double majors. Students desiring a second baccalaureate degree may subsequently pursue such a degree upon approval of the Admissions Office. (See the Admissions section of this catalog.)

Education Law

The Education Law of the State of New York requires the college to publish the following section of the law, verbatim, as adopted, in this catalog. 224 – A. Student unable because of religious beliefs to register or attend classes on certain days. 1. No person shall be expelled from or be refused admission as a student to an institution of higher education for the reason that he or she is unable, because of his or her religious beliefs, to register or attend classes or to participate in any examination, study or work requirements on a particular day or days.

4. If registration, classes, examinations, study or work requirements are held on Friday after 4 p.m. or on Saturday, similar or makeup classes, examinations, study or work requirements or opportunity to register shall be made available on other days, where it is possible and practicable to do so. No special fees shall be charged to the student for these classes, examinations, study or work requirements or registration held on other days. 5. In effectuating the provisions of this section, it shall be the duty of the faculty and of the administrative officials of each institution of higher education to exercise the fullest measure of good faith. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result to any student because of his or her availing himself or herself of the provisions of this section. 6. Any student who is aggrieved by the alleged failure of any faculty or administrative officials to comply in good faith with the provisions of this section, shall be entitled to maintain an action or proceeding in the supreme court of the county in which such institution of higher education is located for the enforcement of his or her rights under this section. 6a. It shall be the responsibility of the administrative officials of each institution of higher education to give written notice to students of their rights under this section, informing them that each student who is absent from school, because of his or her religious beliefs, must be given an equivalent opportunity to register for classes or make up any examination, study or work requirements which he or she may have missed because of such absence on any particular day or days. No fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making available to such student such equivalent opportunity. 7. As used in this section, the term “institution of higher education” shall mean any institution of higher education, recognized and approved by the Regents of the University of the State of New York,

Educational Records

As defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment, educational records are, with certain exceptions, records maintained by SUNY Plattsburgh with a student’s name or students’ names on them. These include files, documents, and materials in whatever medium (i.e., electronic, handwritten, print, tape, film, microfilm, microfiche) which contain information directly related to students and from which students can be individually identified. The permanent and official cumulative academic record for each student is maintained by the Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s Office also maintains official documents relating to the student and may include information supplied to the college at the time of admission and copies of letters related to academic or disciplinary action taken against the student. Other college offices, such as financial aid, health service center, career development center, campus life, academic deans’ offices, etc., maintain information that is necessary to provide services or assistance to students, or information that is necessary for the administration of various programs. Incidental and official files may also be kept by faculty, advisors, and chairpersons. Directory Information, as defined by FERPA, is information contained in an educational record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. SUNY Plattsburgh hereby designates the following categories of student information as public or directory information which may be disclosed by the college for any purpose, at its discretion: student’s full name; email address; local and home addresses; local and home telephone numbers; date of birth; major field of study; name of academic advisor(s); class level; dates of attendance; degree(s) and award(s) received; most recent previous public or private school attended by student; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; and weight and height of members of athletic teams.

Forms requesting the withholding or subsequent release of directory information are available in the Registrar’s Office, Kehoe 306. 38 www.plattsburgh.edu

SUNY Plattsburgh assumes that failure on the part of any student to specifically request the withholding of directory information indicates individual approval for disclosure. Notice to Students: Annually, SUNY Plattsburgh informs students of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA or Buckley Amendment). This act, with which the college complies fully, was designed to protect the privacy of educational records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their educational records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students (including former students) also have the right to file complaints with FERPA concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the act. Student Records Policies and Procedures explains the procedures used by the college for compliance with the provisions of the act. Copies are available in the following offices: College President, Hawkins 159; Provost/ Academic Vice President, Kehoe, 2nd floor; Dean-Arts and Science, Hudson 101; Dean-Education, Health, and Human Services, Sibley 400; Dean-School of Business & Economics, Redcay 110; Registrar, Kehoe 306. These offices also maintain a directory which lists all types, locations, and custodians of students’ education records maintained by Plattsburgh. Release of Student Information: The following is the policy of control of student academic information: 1. A school official is defined as a person employed by or doing volunteer work for the college in an administrative, supervisory, legal, academic, or support staff position (including the law enforcement and health center staff); a person or entity with whom the college has contracted (such as College Auxiliary Services, an attorney, collection agent, or auditor); a member of the College Council or Board of Trustees; and student members of campus disciplinary proceedings. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her responsibilities. 2. With a few exceptions provided by law, only the information listed as directory information may be released to anyone who is not a school official, as defined above, with a legitimate educational interest in the requested information. 3. No further information will be released without the written consent of the student. Absolutely no transcript of a student’s record will be released outside the college without the student’s signed authorization, and no information concerning a student’s grades will be given over the telephone. 4. The student’s written consent is not required for the disclosure of grades, disciplinary action, and other information to parents who have established that student’s status as a dependent (IRS Code of 1954, Section 152). If proof of dependency is not available in the student’s financial aid records, parents

requesting information must submit their request in writing and provide proof of legal dependency, as defined by Federal Income Tax laws, or provide written consent from the student.

Right to File a Complaint: Any student alleging failure of the college to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act may file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Policy Compliance Office, Office of Human Resources and Administration, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20202-4604.

English as a Second Language (ESL)/English Bridge Program

ESL courses and services are offered to international students or to resident non-native speakers of English. Students with TOEFL scores of 450 to 477 (45-53 IBT) are generally placed at the intermediate level of the English Bridge Program (EBP). Students with scores of 480-507 (54-63 IBT) are generally placed into both intermediate and advanced level courses. Students with scores of 510 to 537 (64-75 IBT) are generally placed at the advanced level. Students at both levels are enrolled in 15 to 16 credit hours in the EBP. (Please see the table below.) Students may earn up to 9 academic credits for courses taken at the advanced level. In addition to the ESL courses, the more proficient students (generally those who have scores above 520 [68, IBT]) may also take one or more general education courses or courses in their major. The objectives of the EBP are to provide English-language skills, academic study skills, and familiarity with U.S. culture which enable students to function successfully at the university level. ESL occasionally offers a summer intensive English program.

The ESL Program coordinates with other programs to offer students additional services. Students are referred to the Learning Center for tutoring for their ESL classes. They are referred to Student Support Services for extended-time testing and help with lecture notes. The Speech and Hearing Clinic offers group and individual instruction in pronunciation and conversation for students enrolled in ESL conversation classes. Literacy Volunteers in Hawkins Hall also provides tutoring or

conversation practice for ESL students. The ESL Program and the English Department coordinate ESL sections of ENG 100 and ENG 101. In particular, students in the ESL sections of ENG 101 are required to take RDG 110, a critical reading course. Some departments offer courses structured for ESL or international students. For example, the Communication Department offers international sections of CMM 101 Introduction to Public Speaking.

English Composition

The all-college English composition requirement is met by ENG 100 College Writing I, ENG 101 College Writing II, and a designated advanced writing (AWR) course or courses in the major. Entering freshmen without transfer credit for ENG 101 are required to take an English placement examination to determine the level of their competency in writing. As a result of this examination a student can receive proficiency for ENG 100. (No credits are awarded for proficiency.) All students are required to obtain a grade of C (2.0) in ENG 101 in order to qualify for graduation; grades of less than C (2.0) are not accepted for transfer credit. Students placed in ENG 100 must earn a grade of C (2.0) or better as a prerequisite for enrolling in ENG 101.

Evening Degree Options

The evening business (curriculum 0725) program provides adult students who have a two-year degree an opportunity to pursue a bachelor’s degree on a part-time basis. Course offerings are in sequence on a rotating basis to enable students to finish a degree in three to four years. See the individual department for course requirements.

Foreign Language Placement

Students beginning college as freshmen in fall 2004 or later are required to demonstrate or attain proficiency in a language other than English at the second semester college level; proficiency at the first semester college level is required for students who began college as freshmen from fall 2000 through spring 2004. (Some majors require higher levels of proficiency.) Students interested in studying a foreign language should register for a course level that allows them to build on what they have learned previously. Students who have never studied a particular foreign language, or have completed two years or fewer in middle or high school, should choose a 111 course. Students with three or more years of language study will not be admitted to this level. Students who have completed three years of French in high school should choose 150. Such students taking Spanish or other languages should enroll in the 112 course. Those who have completed a semester of foreign language in college should enroll in 112. All students should refer to the Foreign Language Placement Exams statement (available at www.plattsburgh.edu/register/languageplacement. php or from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, 518-564-3829) and take the placement/ proficiency examination.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION Students who are judged prepared for a 112 or 150 course based on their performance on the placement exams administered by the Foreign Languages and Literature Department will receive a notation on their transcript indicating that they have satisfied the appropriate 111 course. Those who are judged prepared for a 213 course will receive a notation on their transcript indicating that they have satisfied the appropriate 112 course and SUNY Plattsburgh’s General Education 4 requirement. In neither case, however, will the student earn degree credit for this exam. Students who have been awarded foreign language credits at a community college or another four-year college cannot be awarded additional credits for equivalent courses at Plattsburgh. Questions regarding the language proficiency policy should be directed to the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, 518-564-2829.

Grade Changes

No grade can be changed more than one calendar year after it has been posted with one exception: Graduate level in-progress (IP) grades may stand for two years.

Grading

Grading System: Letter grades are used to indicate student success in achieving the specific purposes of a course. The grading system designates: A, superior; B, above average; C, average; D, passing but unsatisfactory; E, failure; I, incomplete; W, withdrawal from course; WC, withdrawal from college; P, pass; AU, audited; CR, credit; PR, proficiency; PC, pass by challenge; and IP, in-progress (for graduate students only). The following additional grades are recognized: A-, B+, B-, C+ (undergraduate and graduate courses) and C- and D+ (undergraduate courses only). For midterm grades only, S, satisfactory; US, unsatisfactory; and N, no grade available are also recognized. The grade point average (GPA) is a measure of academic performance based on the following system of quality points: A = 4.0; A- = 3.7; B+ = 3.3; B = 3.0; B- = 2.7; C+ = 2.3; C = 2.0; C- = 1.7; D+ = 1.3; D = 1.0; E = 0. Other grades carry no value in GPA computation. Under the quality point system, the value of the course (number of credit hours) is multiplied by the value of the grade received to arrive at the number of quality points earned (e.g., a grade of B in a three credit hour course equals nine quality points). Students determine their grade point average by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the number of GPA hours completed. Incomplete Grades: The grade of incomplete (I) indicates that a student has been unable to complete a course for reasons which are considered by the instructor of the course to be extenuating and beyond the student’s control and can be documented. An example would be missing the final examination or final paper deadline because of an illness or family emergency. To be granted a grade of incomplete (I) a student should have completed the following: (a) 75 percent of the work for the course; (b) attendance 40 www.plattsburgh.edu

through the course has been otherwise satisfactory; and (c) work to date is passing. Faculty must complete a Report of Incomplete Work form and send a copy to the student and the department chairperson. This form indicates the specific work required and the date by which the work must be completed (not to exceed the end of the following semester). Any incomplete grade that is not changed by the instructor to an A-E or P grade by the end of the semester after it was given automatically converts to a grade of E. Incomplete (I) grades may not be changed to withdrawals (W) at a later date. Incomplete (I) grades are not transferable and are not computed in the student’s grade point average. Pass/Fail Grades: If an instructor offers the pass/fail option as an alternative to a letter grade, a student can elect this option only during the first two weeks of the course. Once elected, the pass/fail option cannot be reversed for a letter grade. A pass (P) will be awarded for performance equivalent to letter grades of A-D, but will not be computed in the GPA. A fail will be awarded for a grade of E and will be computed in the GPA. The pass/fail option is not permitted for courses in a student’s major or minor areas of study with the exception of student teaching, teaching practicums, internships, research, and clinical nursing courses. Students should be cautioned that the amount of pass/fail work elected may jeopardize their chances for admission to graduate or professional school or career placement, and pass (P) grades may not transfer to other schools. Questions regarding this policy may be directed to the Registrar’s Office or the Office of Academic Advising. Grade Reports: Midterm and final grade reports, recording the student’s academic performance, are available on Banner Web at http://banweb. cc.plattsburgh.edu. SUNY Plattsburgh does not mail grades.

Graduation

At the beginning of the semester of anticipated completion of degree requirements, the student must file a Diploma Application with the Registrar’s Office. Students must be in good, matriculated status at the end of the previous spring semester to be eligible to graduate in August and the previous fall semester to be eligible to graduate in January. Diplomas are not ordered, nor degree requirements verified, for students who have not filed diploma applications. There are four diploma granting dates: January, May, August, and December. There are two commencement ceremonies each year — one in May and one in December. Graduation is not official until all degree requirements are complete. The responsibility for verification of information and completion of degree requirements rests with the student. Participation in commencement does not in itself constitute or guarantee graduation. Students do not receive their diploma at commencement. January diplomas are mailed late March, May diplomas are mailed mid-July, August diplomas are mailed by late October, and December diplomas are mailed late February.

Commencement Participation: Participation in May and December commencements is open to: 1. Degree candidates who, with the completion of the current semester of classes, anticipate the completion of all degree requirements. 2a. May Commencement: Those undergraduate students within six or fewer of the total credit hours required for graduation following the spring semester, who have applied for August graduation and are registered in the summer session for the remaining credit hours, or have an approved Permission for Off-Campus Study form on file. 2b. December Commencement: Those undergraduate students within six or fewer of the total credit hours required for graduation following the fall semester who have applied for January graduation and are registered in the winter session for the remaining credit hours or have an approved Permission for Off-Campus Study form on file. 3. Graduate students within six or fewer of the total credit hours required for graduation and/or who have not completed a required thesis and/or internship must have their advisor acknowledge their anticipated completion before the end of August to participate in the May commencement or January to participate in the December commencement. Commencement Honors: Commencement honors are based on the student’s undergraduate GPA at SUNY Plattsburgh. Students must complete at least 57 hours of residence study (with a minimum of 45 credit hours graded A through E) at SUNY Plattsburgh to be eligible for honors designations at graduation. Special recognition of superior scholastic achievement is given with the designation of summa cum laude (3.9-4.0 GPA), magna cum laude (3.7-3.89 GPA), and cum laude (3.43.69 GPA).

Graduate Courses

Enrollment in graduate courses (courses numbered 500 and above) is normally limited to persons who have completed a baccalaureate degree. An undergraduate student may take a graduate course (for undergraduate or graduate credit) provided the student has completed at least 90 credits, has a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (and a major GPA of at least 3.0 if the graduate course is in his/her major), and has received the approval of the instructor and the chair of the department offering the course and his/her advisor, department chair, and academic dean (through the Approval for an Undergraduate to Take a Graduate Course form). The undergraduate student may not register for more than six graduate credits per semester, nor more than 16 credit hours of undergraduate and graduate courses combined during that semester. The student must specify in advance whether the course will be applied to the undergraduate degree program or will count as non-matriculated graduate

credit. No more than 12 graduate credits can be accumulated as an undergraduate student. (Note that undergraduate students must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits applicable to their undergraduate degree each semester to remain eligible for financial aid.) Students matriculated in a combined undergraduate/ graduate program (such as the B.A./M.S.T. programs) are not guided by the terms of this policy but by the policies specific to their program.

Grievance Procedure

Students who believe that they have been unjustly treated by a member of the faculty may wish to complain in the form of a grievance. The student who has a grievance should attempt to reach a resolution with the faculty member concerned. If this resolution is not satisfactory, the student should consult with the faculty member’s chairperson for a copy of the all-college grievance procedure (also available at www.plattsburgh. edu/intranet/handbook/files/campus-handbook-07section-3.pdf [pages 17-20 of The Campus Handbook]). These procedures specify time limits for filing a grievance (normally 45 academic calendar workdays after the alleged unjust treatment took place). The deans’ and the provost’s offices may also be contacted for grievance procedure information. (Note that an instructor’s raising the issue of possible academic dishonesty is not grievable under these procedures. The college’s Procedures for Addressing Suspected Academic Dishonesty must be used instead. These are available at deans’ offices and at www.plattsburgh.edu/ offices/academic/provost.)

Independent Study

The college offers opportunities for independent study to students who desire to pursue areas of special interest by individual investigation. An undergraduate student should have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average and a graduate student should have a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or better in order to be eligible for independent study. Students wishing to undertake independent study must complete an Application for Independent Study, which serves as a contract between the student and the sponsoring faculty member. The application must be approved by the student’s faculty sponsor and academic advisor and by the chairperson of the faculty offering the independent study. An explanation of how the student’s project justifies the number of credits requested must be included. The ending date of an independent study must occur within the same term in which it is initiated.

International Student Advisement

Academic advisement for international students is handled by faculty within the student’s academic program. International students who have special concerns related to language/cultural differences may consult the international student advisor (518-564-3287) who joins with the faculty in assisting these students.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION Matriculated Student

A matriculated student has been admitted to the college through the Admissions Office, is working toward the completion of a degree, and may be a fulltime student (enrolled for a minimum of 12 credits per semester) or a part-time student (enrolled for fewer than 12 credits per semester). Non-matriculated students are those who are taking courses but are not enrolled in a degree program.

Minor Program

In addition to their major degree program, undergraduate students and students enrolled in combined undergraduate/graduate programs may pursue an approved academic minor, consisting of 18 to 24 credit hours. In order to receive a minor from SUNY Plattsburgh students must have the approval of the program coordinator to formally pursue the minor and must complete 9 credit hours of the minor in courses offered by SUNY Plattsburgh. Courses taken to complete a minor may also count in any category of the general education program or as any other requirement in the student’s major. Students that have a declared minor must obtain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 for all courses which fulfill the minor requirements. The completion of an approved minor will be designated on the student’s official transcript at the time of degree verification.

Official Modes of Communication

SUNY Plattsburgh considers the college’s e-mail system (e.g., employee’s username@plattsburgh.edu, student’s username@mail.plattsburgh.edu), along with the United States Postal Service, an official means of communication. The college will consider employees and students to be duly informed and in receipt of notifications and correspondences sent by a college administrator, staff, or faculty member when delivered to an employee’s or a student’s college e-mail account. It is recommended that employees and students frequently access their college-assigned e-mail account for official information. Individuals may choose to have their @plattsburgh.edu or their @mail.plattsburgh.edu e-mail accounts forwarded to an off-campus account. Such individuals, however, are responsible for managing their disk quota such that there is room for new mail to arrive and for forwarding their Plattsburgh e-mail account to a functioning alternative email address. The college is not responsible for delivery problems to non-official e-mail accounts.

Online Courses and Programs

Online Courses: SUNY Plattsburgh offers a wide variety of online graduate and undergraduate courses on the ANGEL course management system. Most courses are semester-based and require active participation; all have the same rigor and objectives as traditional college courses. For a complete list of online courses and additional information that will help to assess your readiness to take an online course, see www. plattsburgh. edu/academics/onlinelearning or send questions to onlinelearning@plattsburgh.edu. 42 www.plattsburgh.edu

Online Program: B.S. nursing (R.N. – B.S. Online Program Option). SUNY Plattsburgh provides an online completion program for individuals who currently hold the R.N. and want to complete their four-year B.S. Nursing degree. SUNY Plattsburgh faculty teach all online nursing courses with clinical experience provided at regional institutions. For more information, see www. plattsburgh.edu/academics/nursing/majoropt.php.

Permission to Study at Another College

Students may take courses at another college for the purpose of transferring credit to SUNY Plattsburgh. Students who plan to study at another college should complete the Permission for Off-Campus Study form and receive approval in advance from their advisor and chairperson for the courses they intend to take. Students will not be granted credit for duplicate/equivalent course work. A minimum grade of D (1.0) is required for the credit to transfer; however, if a grade higher than a D is required for a course (college-wide or in the student’s major) the credit will transfer only if that higher minimum grade has been earned. Students should bear in mind that a maximum of 67 credit hours earned at two-year colleges or 84 credit hours earned at other four-year colleges may be accepted toward a bachelor’s degree at SUNY Plattsburgh. NOTE: The senior residency requirement states that a student must earn 30 of his/her last 36 credits toward a bachelor’s degree in courses for which he/she is registered at SUNY Plattsburgh. Exceptions: a) students in programs that require final course work to be completed off campus (e.g., medical technology, engineering 3+2 programs); b) students completing final course work in SUNY-sponsored study abroad programs (sponsored by a university center or four-year liberal arts college); c) students completing final course work through approved cross-registration; and d) students enrolled in Nursing (R.N. – B.S. Online Program Option). In addition, the upper-division credit hour requirement states that a minimum of 42 credit hours of upper-division courses, designated by Plattsburgh as 300 or 400 level courses, or its equivalent, are required for graduation. Of these upper-division credits, 21 credits must be earned at SUNY Plattsburgh; not more than 21 transfer credits may be used to fulfill this requirement.

Practicum and Internships

Practicum and internship candidates are expected to follow the external and professional practicum guidelines appropriate to their discipline. (Please refer to specific department/program student/internship manual for details.)

Proficiency/Placement

Disciplines in which regular proficiency/placement examinations are available include mathematics, English, information and technology literacy, and foreign language. Students may inquire about the availability of other proficiency/placement tests by seeing the center director or chairperson of the department offering the course. Students may take proficiency/ placement examinations without enrolling in the specific

course. (Some majors, minors, or specific courses may require all enrolled students to take a proficiency/ placement examination/evaluation.) A student may not satisfy a requirement through proficiency for a course in which he or she has already received a grade (including but not limited to I, W, WC, or AU) or where he or she has already completed a more advanced course. There is no credit earned by proficiency, only the recording on the student’s transcript of the grade of PR.

Repeating a Course

A student may repeat a course for the purpose of raising a grade but may receive degree credit for a course only once. The most recent/last grade earned will be used in the grade point average computation; all grades, however, will be recorded on the student’s official transcript. Only courses taken and repeated at SUNY Plattsburgh (or through cross registration) will count toward a student’s GPA. Students may repeat a course off campus to satisfy a requirement without affecting the student’s existing grade point average calculations. The college reserves the right to remove students from courses which they are taking for the third or more time. If a student is denied permission to repeat a course for a second or more time (i.e., take a course for a third or more time) and cannot complete the degree because of this denial, the student may appeal to the dean of faculty that offers his/her major. NOTE: Most financial aid programs cannot be used to cover the expenses of a previously passed course (i.e., a course with an acceptable grade that satisfies degree requirements) which is repeated to improve the grade and grade point average. (See the Financial Aid section in this catalog.)

Summer Session

The college offers one, two-week and two, five-week summer sessions each year. The first session begins in May and continues until early June. The second session runs from early June to early July. The third session begins in early July and runs through early August. Summer sessions provide students with an opportunity to accelerate their degree programs, to spread their academic work more comfortably across the full year, or to take courses of personal interest outside a degree program. Undergraduate courses are open to anyone who meets course requirements; graduate courses are open to individuals who have earned a bachelor’s degree and meet course requirements. Financial aid and on-campus housing are available for those enrolled in summer school. Registration can be completed on the Web or in person. For more information, call 518-5642100 or 800-570-1634.

Transcripts

Transcript Requests

Official transcripts are issued by the Registrar’s Office at the written request of the student; each request must include the student’s full name (including any former names), social security number, dates of attendance, return address, daytime telephone number, and signature. (Federal law prohibits the release of transcripts without written approval from the student.) In addition, the student must include the complete address of the transcript’s destination and $5 for each transcript requested (check/money order made payable to SUNY Plattsburgh). A transcript request received by fax (518-564-4900) must include the credit card type (e.g., Visa, MasterCard, Discover), credit card number, expiration date, name as it appears on the credit card, and the number of transcripts requested. In order to comply with FERPA, which defines limitations of access to students’ educational records, transcript requests by telephone, e-mail, or Internet are not accepted. All outstanding debts with the college must be cleared before transcripts are released. Transcript request forms are available at the Registrar’s Office or at www. plattsburgh.edu/register/. Unofficial transcripts may be accessed free of charge by currently enrolled students and their advisors through Banner Web at banweb.cc.plattsburgh.edu.

Undeclared Majors: General Education Pre-Majors

Students who have not yet selected an academic major are considered general education pre-majors or undeclared, and are assigned an advisor by the director of academic advising, who is also responsible for signing or approving for such students all academic forms requiring the signature of a department chairperson. General education pre-majors are encouraged to experiment in several academic disciplines to identify their academic interests. Professional staff in the Career Development Center are available to help clarify longrange goals and to explore career interests. NOTE: New York state’s Tuition Assistance Program (TAP Grant) requires, to maintain TAP eligibility, that a major be declared once the student accumulates 57 credits. (See the Financial Aid section of this catalog.)

Winter Session

Each year, SUNY Plattsburgh offers special courses during the winter break. These courses vary in length from one day to five weeks and allow students to experience unique educational opportunities. Some of the courses focus on broadening students’ horizons through travel, outdoor adventures, or new fields of study. Others offer the opportunity to explore a topic in a new way — through media, interaction with other groups, or hands-on experience; others may satisfy general education requirements. For more information, call 518-564-2100 or 800-570-1634.

Withdrawal from College

For Personal Reasons: Withdrawal from college for personal reasons (not including medical or military activation) during a semester may be granted to a matriculated student if the request is received by

SUNY PLATTSBURGH 2009–2010 UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE CATALOG 43

GENERAL INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION

ACADEMIC POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND INFORMATION the Office of Academic Advising (for undergraduate students) or the graduate degree program chair/ coordinator (for graduate students) prior to the last ten calendar days of the semester; once the request is processed, a WC (withdrawal from college) grade notation is recorded on the student’s academic record for each course not yet completed. It is not possible to process a college withdrawal for personal reasons within the last ten calendar days of the semester. Personal reasons generally include financial difficulties, family concerns, career exploration, and personal adjustment matters. Waivers to this policy because of extenuating circumstances may be granted through the Office of the Provost of the college. Undergraduate students who plan to leave the college for a period of time and return in the future may request a withdrawal from college in advance of the semester(s) they plan to be absent. The authorized withdrawal and its duration are noted on the transcript, and the student in good academic standing is given priority for readmission. All students who have processed an official college withdrawal or who have withdrawn from all courses through the course withdrawal process relinquish the right to use all college services and privileges, and “withdrawn” is noted on the academic transcript. Undergraduate students must apply for readmission; students who are in good academic standing at the time of their withdrawal do not jeopardize readmission. Graduate students need not apply for readmission providing the time limitations for degree completion and application of transfer credits or credits acquired in non-matriculated status have not expired; they must file an Intent to Return form with the Graduate Admissions Office, however, to reactive their access to Banner. For Medical/Mental Health Reasons: A medical withdrawal from college for the current semester and/ or a medical leave of absence planned for a future semester may be granted by the college physician, based on medical examination at the Student Health Center and/or written documentation provided by the treating health care professional or physician, to any student experiencing serious health problems. At the discretion of the director of Student Health and Psychological Services, in consultation with the provost or designee, a student receiving a college withdrawal for medical/mental health reasons may be restricted from reenrolling at SUNY Plattsburgh for a specified period of time.

44 www.plattsburgh.edu

Students who have been given a medical withdrawal or leave of absence relinquish the right to use all college services and privileges, and their status as “withdrawn” (W) or leave of absence (LOA), with approved dates, is noted on the transcript. Once the request is processed, a WC (withdrawal from college) grade notation is recorded on the student’s academic record for each course not yet completed. For readmission to the college after a medical withdrawal or leave of absence, students are required to present a statement from the college physician, or his or her designee, based on documentation of the attending health care professional, that they are ready to return to college and must meet any time limitations specified in the college withdrawal. Undergraduate students must also process a readmission application through the Admissions Office, and graduate students must submit an Intent to Return form to the Graduate Admissions Office. Students who are in good academic standing at the time of their medical withdrawal or leave of absence do not jeopardize readmission. Time limits for completion of degree requirements for graduate programs continue to apply, however. For Military Service: A military withdrawal will be granted to any matriculated student who is called to active duty. A copy of the military orders must be submitted to the Office of Academic Advising (for undergraduate students) or the graduate degree program chair/coordinator (for graduate students) to process a military withdrawal. Students returning to the college within three years of the date of discharge from active service or within three years of recovery from an illness or injury incurred during service may be reinstated by contacting the Registrar’s Office (provided the absence from school for active duty does not exceed five years and separation from the service was not dishonorable). Failure to register at SUNY Plattsburgh within these time limits will require undergraduate students on a military withdrawal to apply for readmission through the Admissions Office and graduate students to file an Intent to Return form with the Graduate Admissions Office. Mandatory Leave: Any full-time, part-time, matriculated, nonmatriculated, undergraduate and/ or graduate student may be required to take a leave of absence from the college if the student’s behavior or medical or psychological condition poses a direct threat to the health or safety of the student or others. Copies of the procedures for implementing mandatory leave and the appeal process are available from the Student Health Center and the Office of Student Affairs located on Kehoe sixth floor.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS

SUNY Plattsburgh’s Academic Plan The academic plan for a baccalaureate at SUNY Plattsburgh consists of a major and a general education program, which is intended to provide the skills, breadth of knowledge, and perspectives all college graduates should have beyond the major. The bachelor’s degree may also consist of electives and/or a minor. In addition, there are a number of overall degree or graduation requirements. These are described below, followed by the general education program and the various major and minor programs.

Graduation Requirements

Candidates for bachelor’s degrees must meet the following requirements: A. General Education Requirements Completion of all courses necessary to meet the general education requirements. The foreign language and information and technology literacy requirements may be satisfied by proficiency examination. Certain courses may satisfy both general education requirements in the skills or knowledge and understanding categories and also requirements in the major. Students should see the list of courses approved to meet the general education requirements below and in the Banner Master Schedule (www.plattsburgh.edu/register) and the list of courses required for the major. B. Major Requirements Completion of all courses required in the major, including departmental requirements, cognate requirements (if any), and for childhood education majors, the liberal arts concentration. Some majors also require course grades and GPA’s above the college minimum. C. Credit Hours 1. A minimum of 120 credit hours is required for graduation. Because of certification requirements, students in some programs must complete more than 120 credit hours. 2. As part of the 120 credits, students must complete a minimum of 90 credits in the liberal arts to be eligible for the bachelor of arts or a minimum of 60 credits in the liberals arts to be eligible for the bachelor of science. 3. Students may transfer a maximum of 67 credit hours from a two-year college. 4. Students transferring from a four-year college may transfer a maximum of 84 semester credit hours provided that at least 17 of those credit hours were completed at the four-year college and that they meet other appropriate residency requirements at the college. 5. A minimum of 42 credit hours of upper-division courses, designated by SUNY Plattsburgh as 300 or 400 level, or its equivalent is required for 48 www.plattsburgh.edu

graduation. Of these upper-division credits, 21 credits must be earned at SUNY Plattsburgh; not more than 21 transfer credits may be used to fulfill this requirement. 6. Students may apply a maximum of four credit hours of physical education activity courses (PED 100-194) toward their degree. D. Residency Requirement 1. A minimum of 36 credit hours must be completed at SUNY Plattsburgh. Credit earned through examinations may not be counted toward this requirement. 2. A student must earn 30 of his or her last 36 credits in courses for which he/she is registered through SUNY Plattsburgh. Exceptions: a. students in programs that require final coursework to be completed off campus (i.e., cytotechnology, medical technology, engineering 3+2 programs); b. students completing final course work in SUNY-sponsored study abroad and/or student exchange programs such as the National Student Exchange program (sponsored by a university center or four-year liberal arts college); c. students completing final course work through approved cross registration; and d. students majoring in nursing (RN-to-BS Online Program Option). 3. A student must complete at least 18 credit hours in his or her chosen major through coursework at SUNY Plattsburgh. These 18 credit hours may not include credit gained by proficiency examination. Note that some programs require that a larger number of credit hours in the major be completed through SUNY Plattsburgh courses. E. Grade Point Average The minimum requirement to qualify for graduation is a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) and an overall 2.0 average in courses which are taken from the student’s major department or program. In addition, all students, including transfer students, must obtain a minimum grade of C (2.0) in College Writing II (ENG101). Some academic departments also have approved policies requiring minimum grades in specific courses or major sequences. Students should see individual listings of major programs for specific requirements. F. Commencement Honors Commencement honors are based on the student’s undergraduate GPA at Plattsburgh. Students must complete at least 57 hours of residence study (with a minimum of 45 credit hours graded A through E) at SUNY Plattsburgh to be eligible for honors designations at graduation. Special recognition of superior scholastic achievement is given with the designation of summa cum laude (3.94.0 GPA), magna cum laude (3.7-3.89 GPA), and cum laude (3.4-3.69 GPA).

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS

General education courses are opportunities to gain skills and insights that will be useful one’s entire life, no matter what the choice of major or career objectives. SUNY Plattsburgh recognizes that general education courses are an integral part of the total degree program — of equal importance to the major field of study.

Objectives

The General Education Program is designed to reinforce students’ abilities to: • read with comprehension • apply quantitative skills • communicate effectively in written and spoken English • communicate in a second language • use technology effectively • filter, analyze, and critique information and experience. Additionally, the General Education Program is designed to extend students’ understanding and appreciation of: • the complexity of the world in which we live • the arts and aesthetics • the sciences and mathematics • the “great ideas” of humanity • the cultures of the world • the nature of society • the moral responsibilities of the individual • the continuity of history and the changes influenced by historical processes.

Requirements/Policies

A new General Education Program (GE4) was put into effect for students who began their college education as freshmen in fall 2004. All new transfer students and readmitted students who had 70 or fewer credits when they left the college follow this new program (GE4). Readmitted students who had completed more than 70 credits when they left the college may complete the general education program that was in effect at the time they left. Students should contact their academic advisor or the Academic Advising Office at 518-564-2080 if they have questions concerning General Education. 1. Relationship to major: Courses completed to fulfill The Skills and The Knowledge and Understanding requirements may also fulfill a major requirement. To fulfill The Integration requirement, a course must be outside the major department and cognate requirements for the major. (Students with double majors may use courses within either major to complete The Integration requirement; childhood education majors may use courses in their concentrations to satisfy The Integration requirement.) 2. Relationship to minors and second majors: Courses taken to fulfill general education requirements can

also be applied to minor and/or second major requirements. 3. Time frame: Students are expected to complete The Skills requirements by the beginning of the sophomore year (except for the Oral Expression requirement which students may complete with a designated upper-division course). Transfer students are expected to complete The Skills by the end of their second semester at the college. The Knowledge and Understanding requirement should be completed before the end of the sophomore year. The Integration requirement is met through upper-division courses that should be taken after The Skills and The Knowledge and Understanding requirements have been met. 4. Transfer students: The Admissions Office evaluates all transfer credits. Most transfer students will have completed many of The Skills and The Knowledge and Understanding requirements; approved substitutions may be transferred into the program. Questions about transferring work from other colleges taken before admission to SUNY Plattsburgh should be directed to the Admissions Office 518-564-2040.

General Education Program (GE4) The general education curriculum (GE4) consists of a minimum of 35 credit hours and is divided into three parts: The Skills, designed to provide students with the foundation for their academic career; The Knowledge and Understanding, intended to engage students in broad introductions to major areas of liberal arts studies; and The Integration, for upper-level students, examining problems, themes, topics, and interpretations which build on The Knowledge and Understanding courses. General education courses are essential to the student’s academic plan; these courses establish high expectations of students and encourage active learning. The Knowledge and Understanding and The Integration courses are intended to reinforce the skills of reading, writing, speaking, critical thinking, information management, and mathematics. General education courses are also designed to reflect diversity of content and scholarship and offer a broad focus; engage students in critical reflection on issues of race, gender, and class, as appropriate to the discipline; include regional or local content where appropriate; include international content where appropriate; include technology appropriate to the discipline; and include an ethics component. With the exception of ENG 100 College Writing I and ENG 101 College Writing II, there are no single specific course requirements. Students, with the assistance of their advisors, choose from a group of courses which fulfill the goals of each of the components of the program. Approved courses within each category are

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS listed below and on the following pages. For the most up-to-date list see the online Banner Master Schedule at www.plattsburgh.edu/register.

Learning Communities

Students have the option of satisfying several of the general education requirements through learning communities. Each learning community consists of three or more thematically linked courses taught by collaborating faculty and taken by a group of 25 or fewer students. Learning Communities afford students the opportunity to develop skills and study subject matter in an interdisciplinary environment. All learning communities are designed so that students satisfy the oral expression requirement of the general education program (in addition to at least three other general education requirements satisfied by particular courses), and in some learning communities, students are provided the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in other areas as well. For more information, including a list of learning communities available in fall 2009, see www. plattsburgh.edu/admissions.

Prerequisites for GE4

It is assumed that students will enter the college with competencies: • in foreign language equal to FL 111 (the first college semester), • in English composition equal to ENG 100, and • in mathematics equal to MAT 101. Students who do not have these competencies when they enter must achieve them before completing the related parts of the general education program.

A. THE SKILLS REQUIREMENTS (6-16 credit hours)

The Skills enable students to communicate effectively, think quantitatively, analyze and solve problems, and find information. They provide a foundation for students to derive the greatest benefit from the academic program. Students are expected to complete The Skills requirement before the beginning of the sophomore year; transfer students are expected to complete this requirement within two semesters of matriculation. (Exception: Students may complete the Oral Expression requirement later with an approved upper-division course.)

Written Expression (3-8 credit hours) — 4WE

All students without transfer credit for this requirement must take an English placement examination. As a result of the examination, some students will be eligible to register for ENG 101 without having to take ENG 100. A minimum grade of C (2.0) in ENG 101 is required for graduation. Required courses: 1. ENG 100 College Writing I ( 4 cr.) or Proficiency by exam (0 cr.) 2. ENG 101 College Writing II (3-4 cr.)

Students of anthropology acquire a broad understanding of human nature and human behavior applicable to our own and other world cultures. Courses introduce the biological and cultural evolution and diversity of human groups, explore world cultures and global problems, and provide a basis for comparative analysis of biological and psychological processes and of social institutions in different cultures. Students are encouraged to apply anthropology in an internship experience, and they may carry out original research and analysis in cooperation with faculty. Topics may include local historical archaeology, field archaeology in other parts of the country or abroad, language and behavior, social network analysis, human service delivery, education and culture, local ethnography, human variation, and medical anthropology, including epidemiology. Support facilities include physical anthropology and archaeology laboratories with human skeletal and artifact collections. Besides the major, study options include academic minors in archaeology, cultural anthropology, and language and linguistics and summer practicum programs. All programs encourage the application of anthropological skills and perspectives to a wide variety of practical and academic problems. Training in anthropology is excellent preparation for commercial, government, and professional service occupations and for graduate study in business, law, public administration, social services, and public health as well as in theoretical or applied anthropology. In an era of increasing international and interethnic contact in many careers, anthropology provides essential background and training in cross-cultural interaction.

ART DEPARTMENT SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor: R. Mikkelson Professor: D. Fine Associate Professors: K. Blough (chairperson), D. Costanzo, B. Matthews, D. Powell, P. Russom, N. Taber Assistant Professors: A. Goerlitz, S. Lezon Adjunct Faculty: Five positions The art department is dedicated to enriching its students’ lives through the creation and the historical and critical study of art. By providing a stimulating, intellectually challenging, diverse, and nurturing learning environment, the faculty develops the students’ skills, creativity, and confidence in creating art; improves critical thinking; and inspires a lifelong interest in the arts. As mentors, faculty members inspire art majors to achieve their highest professional aspirations and to make enlightened contributions to the art world and the larger community (Mission Statement ‘03). The art department offers comprehensive degree programs in the creation and history of art. Students obtain a solid foundation in studio and art history, acquire broad experience in a variety of media, and concentrate in the areas of their choice. With faculty as mentors, students develop skills, creativity, aesthetic awareness, and knowledge in preparation for a variety of careers. Programs in Art History: The art department offers a B.A. program with a study option in art history that prepares students for graduate study in art history or careers in museums or galleries. There are also minors in art history and museum studies. Art history courses introduce students to major artistic periods, styles, and concepts from antiquity to the present. Programs in Studio Art: The art department offers two art studio options: the B.F.A. and the B.A. with a study option in art studio. These program options allow students to select the degree that best suits their personal goals. B.F.A.: The B.F.A. program is an intensive professional degree that prepares students for art careers or graduate 56 www.plattsburgh.edu

study in either fine arts or graphic design. B.F.A. students are admitted by a portfolio review. Students without portfolios may enter the B.A. program and subsequently apply to the B.F.A. program. Students in the B.F.A. program obtain a solid foundation and broad studio experience, as well as one or more in-depth concentrations in graphic design, ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, or sculpture. The B.F.A. program culminates in a Senior Exhibition. B.F.A. graduates develop technical competence, aesthetic judgment, and a strong commitment to artistic quality. B.A.: The B.A. program with a study option in art studio permits students to combine in-depth study in studio art with broader liberal studies, a second major, or a minor. It is well-suited for students who wish to enter fields such as art therapy, elementary education, arts management, or advertising. After receiving a solid foundation, students select one or more concentrations in graphic design, ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking or sculpture. Art studio minors: The department also offers minors in studio art, photography, and graphic design. Students complete minors either for self-enrichment or to complement other majors. Art Courses: Foundation courses offer students basic skills and concepts and an introduction to disciplines, such as art history, ceramics, drawing, graphic design, illustration, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. This breadth of experience helps the studio student discover personal strengths and interests. From these disciplines, the studio student selects one or more areas to study in-depth, developing confidence and ability and a professional portfolio. Art history students select from courses including Greek and Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo, 19th Century, Jewish, Modern, Contemporary, Women in Art, Art of the Book, and American Art. Individualized research and internships are also available. Careers: Students begin career planning in their first semester. Throughout their course of study, art students work with advisors, faculty mentors, visiting artists, and a variety of career sources to prepare themselves for future careers. Art alumni are pursuing a wide variety of art careers, working as graphic designers, art directors, museum directors, college professors, teachers, studio sculptors and painters, professional potters, commercial and fine arts photographers, printers, wallpaper stylists, and web designers. Faculty and Facilities: The art department has an experienced, full-time, professional faculty. These dedicated teachers are currently involved in creative, high-quality work in studio and art history. Through direct instruction, by example of their own creative work, and by their professional collaborations, faculty members help students achieve their potential, develop their portfolios, and prepare for careers or graduate school. Class sizes are small enough for personal attention. The Myers Fine Arts Building has twelve wellequipped art studios, including two full computer labs

for digital photography and graphic design. Through in-depth experience with processes such as bronze and iron casting, electronic art, lithography, ceramics, and photography, students are prepared for graduate school or art careers. Art studio students have ample opportunity to exhibit their work, both in the Myers Fine Arts Building and throughout the campus. Students experience professional art firsthand through the notable Plattsburgh State Art Museum, which includes three galleries, a sculpture court, an outdoor sculpture park and terrace, and installations in other public spaces throughout the campus. There are about 10,000 historical and contemporary works of art, representing a variety of Western and non-Western cultures. The Art Museum is complemented by a strong print library and film and video collections. Student Organizations: The Art Resource student organization and the student-led Visual Artist Series give students the opportunity and professional experience to select and host renowned artists, critics, and art historians. Workshops and Trips: Workshops and presentations given by visiting artists in areas such as iron casting, book arts, and painting give students knowledge that enhances their experience within the studio classes. Student trips to cities such as New York, Montreal, and Ottawa provide firsthand experience with works of art. Internships and Study Abroad: Plattsburgh’s art majors enhance their professional development through internships and study abroad. Internships exist both on and off campus. In addition, some students study abroad, especially in England and Italy. Scholarships: Several scholarships are available annually, particularly the George and Nina Winkel art scholarships. Scholarships are available for incoming freshmen and for sophomore, junior and senior students.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS

Professors: P. Conrad, N. Elwess, D. Slish, F. D. Vogt Associate Professors: N. Buckley (chairperson), J. de Ondarza Assistant Professor: C. Martine Lecturers: J. Marchut Conrad, C. Gregoire Adjunct Instructor: S. Latourelle Medical Technology Adjunct Faculty: R. Kranwinkel, N. Mitchell, L. Moore, S. Sena, A. Vicente Cytotechnology Adjunct Faculty: M. Angeles-Friedlander, S. Giroux, J. Shaffer Biological sciences at SUNY Plattsburgh emphasize the principles and methods of the life sciences. Students learn about current advances in many frontier areas of biology. Their advisors keep them abreast of expanding job opportunities — not only in industry and research, but also in medicine and other health science professions. Students in all biological sciences specializations receive a sound liberal arts education. They learn to think critically, to analyze problems, and to formulate and demonstrate solutions. Many qualify and are encouraged to work actively in original research with members of the faculty, thus earning credits through undergraduate research. Program requirements ensure that all majors receive a sound, general education in biology and gain experience in their specialization in advanced studies. Some advanced courses do not necessarily meet a particular student’s career aspirations. When this occurs, substitutions determined educationally sound may be made, subject to approval by the chairperson and the dean. Such substitutions could include the pursuance of special topics via independent study. Liberal Arts Biology: The curricula for the B.A. and B.S. biology majors provide a rigorous foundation in fundamental biology to include study in more than one kingdom. Both curricula are firmly supported by chemistry, mathematics, and physics requirements; students are also afforded the opportunity to pursue study in interdisciplinary courses as preparation for successful participation in civic and societal endeavors that support the sciences. Both curricula provide excellent background for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in the life sciences (plant, fungal, animal, and microbe) or professional school in allied health (medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or public health) as well as careers in industrial or academic research laboratories. In addition, students enrolled in the B.S. curriculum, upon successful completion of all cognate chemistry courses with a grade of C or better, earn a chemistry minor subsequent to submission of paperwork. Biochemistry: The undergraduate curriculum for the biochemistry major follows the recommendations of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular

Biology (ASBMB). It provides an excellent basis for advanced study in biochemistry, biological sciences, and allied health (medical, dental, veterinary, public health) as well as direct entry into industrial and academic research. With a few additional courses, the biochemistry degree is also certified by the American Chemical Society. Cytotechnology: This program is designed for students interested in research or diagnostic cellular pathology, particularly as it pertains to cancer and viral infection. The curriculum closely parallels the medical technology program and prepares the student for the fourth-year clinical internship in the hospital setting. (SUNY Plattsburgh’s senior residency requirement is not applicable to this program.) Graduates will be eligible for the American Society of Clinical Pathologists’ Board of Registry examination to become board-certified cytotechnologists. Students must apply as juniors to clinical training centers for admission to the fourth-year internship. Acceptance to the internship is competitive, and admission to SUNY Plattsburgh does not guarantee placement in the clinical internship. Those accepted spend 12 months in residence at the clinical training center where they follow a curriculum approved by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Affiliated hospitals include the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, N.Y.), Albany Medical College (Albany, NY), Berkshire Medical Center (Pittsfield, Mass.), and Fletcher Allen Health Care (Burlington, Vt.). Admissions to nonaffiliated hospitals is also possible. The curriculum for the hospital program includes the cytology of the lungs, gastrointestinal system, breasts, genitourinary system, abdomen, body cavity fluids, thyroid and parathyroid glands, salivary glands, lymph nodes and CNS, with particular emphasis on gynecological cytology. Medical Technology: This program is for students interested in careers in medical research, clinical laboratory analyses, and food or pharmaceutical industrial research. The curriculum involves three years of study in the sciences, humanities, and social sciences as preparation for the fourth year of clinical training in a hospital. (SUNY Plattsburgh’s senior residency requirement is not applicable to this program.) Admission to the medical technology program at SUNY Plattsburgh does not guarantee admission to a clinical training hospital. Students must apply as juniors to clinical training centers for admission to the fourth year of training. Acceptance to the fourth year is competitive and depends upon academic record, references, and attitude toward medical technology as a career. Those accepted spend 12 months in residence at a clinical training center where they follow a curriculum approved by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the American Medical Association. Affiliated hospitals include Berkshire Medical Center (Pittsfield, Mass.), Danbury Hospital (Danbury, Conn.), and Rochester General Hospital (Rochester, N.Y.). Admission to

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS nonaffiliated hospitals is also possible. The curriculum for the hospital program includes the following topics: Microbiology — 8 credits* Immunology-Serology — 1 credit Hematology — 8 credits Blood Bank — 4 credits Urinalysis/Clinical Microscopy — 1 credit Principles of Disease — 1 credit Clinical Chemistry — 8 credits Elective — No credit or 1 credit * Credits for each of these subjects may vary by hospitals. Students who complete clinical training successfully receive a B.S. in medical technology and become eligible to take the National Registry Examination. Those who pass the exam receive certification and privilege to use the title Medical Technologist (ASCP). Students who plan to apply to schools of medical, dental, or veterinary medicine should not enroll in the medical technology program. They should enroll in one of the other biology programs and seek advice from the Pre-Health Professions Committee. Biology/Adolescence Education B.A./M.S.T.: This combined degree program is for students who seek adolescence education teacher certification in biology. For more information see the Combined Programs section of this catalog. Three-Plus-Four Optometry: This program option includes three years of study at SUNY Plattsburgh and four years of optometric education at the New York State School of Optometry. An interview is required for admission to this program option, and only students with fewer than 36 credits of college work are eligible for admission. Upon satisfactory performance at Plattsburgh, students are granted an interview for admission to the Optometry College. Upon successful completion of the first year of study at the New York State School of Optometry, students will be awarded the B.A. in biology from SUNY Plattsburgh. The curriculum of study at Plattsburgh includes the General Education Program plus basic courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus. Undergraduate Research: The Department of Biological Sciences offers students the opportunity to conduct a variety of research projects under the mentorship of department faculty. The research projects correspond to the research interests of the faculty, which are described in a publication available in the biology office. The research opportunities provide students with a greater appreciation of the process of scientific discovery. Students should speak with faculty to arrange research projects and complete the appropriate paperwork for registration. Research projects (BIO 495) may be conducted for one to six credit hours a semester. Alternatively, students may enroll in the Cellular Biochemistry Research Experience (BIO 490) which is offered each spring semester. This 15 credit hour course involves students in discussions, 62 www.plattsburgh.edu

seminars, and immersion in original research. BIO 490 is open to science students regardless of major. Funding opportunities to support undergraduate research include Beaumont Grants-In-Aid Awards and Sigma Xi Undergraduate Research Awards, which provide students with small amounts of supply money for research projects. Students must prepare proposals describing the research in order to apply for these awards. The results of research projects may be presented at a campus-wide forum.

Pre-Medical/Pre-Professional Program The Pre-Medical/Pre-Professional Program guides those students who desire entry into a medical, veterinary, or dental program upon graduation from SUNY Plattsburgh. The program consists of five semesters of course work that provides the student a broad-based education in the foundations of biology (16 credits), chemistry (20 credits), physics (8 credits), mathematics (8 credits), and general education (42 credits). This curriculum will 1) prepare students with the foundation courses necessary for the MCAT and 2) enable students to apply to medical/dental school in the summer between their third and fourth year at Plattsburgh. The Pre-Medical/ PreProfessional candidate will declare a degree major by the completion of their fourth or fifth semester. Typically, a candidate will declare either a B.A./B.S. biology major, a B.A./B.S. chemistry major, or a B.S. biochemistry major. Advisement through this program will be provided by one of the members of the Pre-Health Professions Advisory Committee (PHPAC). The student wishing to be part of this program should establish a file with the PHPAC by contacting the program’s chairperson. Pre-Health Professions Advisory Committee (PHPAC): D. Slish (chairperson), N. Elwess, K. Lavoie, L. Luck, J. Ryan PHPAC provides pre-health advisement for students interested in medical, dental, veterinary, optometry, and other postgraduate professional schools. Admission to these schools can be a complicated process. PHPAC will help students with career choices and help to prepare them for the challenge through discussions with the student and by making available up-to-date literature on postgraduate schools. Entrance into medical or other professional schools does not require a strict premedical major; instead it mandates a set of core science requirements. The student interested in the health professions will be advised by a member of the PHPAC through the core requirements in a manner that best meets his/her academic needs. The committee will maintain a file on the student and will ultimately evaluate the student’s school record in order to form a recommendation to the applicant school.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS for years to come as baby boomers retire and plan for their retirement. Compensation in the area of finance is considerably above the national average for all college graduates. The major in hotel, restaurant and tourism management prepares students for careers in the hotel, restaurant, and tourism industries. This multidisciplinary field prepares students with expertise in management, marketing, and operations in the expanding industry that provides food, accommodations, and services to people away from home. Admission to SBE majors is competitive and is contingent upon academic qualifications. Effective fall 2007, a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or better is required for a student to be considered for transfer admission, readmission, or internal transfer into any major in the SBE. A student who does not have a GPA of 2.3 can be admitted to and can complete any SBE minor. Upon completion of a minor, with a GPA of 2.3 in the minor classes, a student could then be considered for admission to a major in the SBE. The School of Business and Economics also offers minors in accounting, business, economics, finance, global supply chain management, international business, management information systems, and marketing, as well as a more quantitative minor in business analysis. A specialized joint minor in broadcast management is also offered to broaden career opportunities for students. Students with junior status may complete the B.S. in management program at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Branch Campus at Adirondack Community College, Queensbury, N.Y.

CANADIAN STUDIES PROGRAM Associate Professor: M. Richard (coordinator) Adjunct Faculty: E. Correa, M. Smith, J. Stoneberger The Canadian studies program is multidisciplinary. Students acquire a sensitivity to and an understanding of Canada’s historical, geographical, political, economic, 74 www.plattsburgh.edu

and cultural character. They select Canadian content courses from among the greatest number and variety available at any university in the country. These courses may be applied to the B.A. or minor programs in Canadian studies or Québec studies or used to meet general education requirements. Canadian studies majors and minors first take a multidisciplinary course, CAS111 Introduction to Canada. They then complete the program by enrolling in nine other courses for the major, or five for either minor, offered by cooperating departments or the Canadian studies program. Canadian Studies Faculty: Fifteen faculty associates offer more than 30 Canadian content courses on a wide variety of topics. These faculty represent such distinct disciplines as history, geography, English, French, art, political science, literature, sociology, environmental science, communications, economics, and business. Resident Programs in Canada: Students may participate for a semester or an academic year in resident programs at selected Canadian universities. Intensive French language immersion programs for three to five-week periods are also available throughout the summer at major universities in the Province of Québec. (For more information see the Study Abroad and Exchange section.) Internships: Canadian studies students acquire valuable skills and experience as participants in internship programs in the United States and Canada. Internship opportunities include state or provincial development offices, federal foreign affairs offices, consulates, Canadian multinational corporations, local businesses, and SUNY Plattsburgh’s Center for the Study of Canada. (See the Special Programs section of this catalog.) Scholarships: Each semester several scholarships are available exclusively to students enrolled in Canadian studies programs. For information on scholarships, contact the coordinator of Canadian studies or the Center for the Study of Canada. Club Canada and Cultural Activities: Club Canada is a student organization whose members help to plan academic, social, and cultural activities. Such activities include Canada Day and Célébrons Québec, political and economic conferences, the guest speaker program, and regular field trips to Montréal, Québec City, Ottawa, and New Brunswick. With the assistance of the Canadian studies program, students often participate in conferences in Canada and the United States. Canadian studies students also benefit from the programs and resources of the Center for the Study of Canada. (See the Special Programs section of this catalog.)

Communication Studies Department

The Department of Communication Studies offers a comprehensive communication studies program in four distinct areas: • TV-Video Production/Broadcast Journalism • Audio-Radio/Digital Media Production • Public Relations/Organizational Communication • Communication Studies As part of these four majors, students may select from seven specific concentrations and receive a B.A. or a B.S. in any major. Our students receive a solid liberal-arts education and are taught to think creatively, critically, and responsibly. The TV-Video Production/Broadcast Journalism Major gives students the ability to write script, shoot and edit videotape, and direct and produce multi-camera live TV programs (both studio and field) using cutting-edge digital equipment. Students in this major choose to concentrate in either Television-Video Production or Broadcast Journalism. Those students concentrating on Television-Video Production are preparing for careers in producing, directing, acting, editing and various other production positions in both the broadcast and nonbroadcast fields. The Broadcast Journalism concentration prepares students to gather, write, edit, produce, and deliver electronic news. They acquire the skills necessary for the production of news, sports, and featurelength public affairs programs for radio and television broadcasting. A strong liberal-arts core with courses in journalism, media ethics, on-air performance, broadcast writing, and production prepares students for careers in the broadcast news industry as reporters, anchors, producers, and videographers. The Audio-Radio/Digital Media Production Major connects students with the wide-ranging fields of audio, radio, and digital media production. In this major, students learn how to write script and to record and produce music for radio, television, and Internet applications as well as to hone their skills as on-air talent. Students can focus their study in either AudioRadio Production or Digital Media Production. Students choosing Audio-Radio Production acquire technical proficiency with digital audio tools, understand the theoretical concepts behind a variety of media, and learn what it takes to work in radio as a production and promotion manager, sales and operations manager, or on-air talent. They also develop the ability to create a variety of audio productions for specific audiences and experience the world of music recording through hands-on field work. The Digital Media Production concentration teaches students how to use digital technology to create, manipulate, and effectively communicate information to a variety of audiences. Through building Web sites, producing digital videos, and developing audio expertise, students explore rapidly developing technologies and prepare for the convergence of digitally produced media. Students 78 www.plattsburgh.edu

studying in this area are prepared to work in a variety of technology-driven fields including Web site development, digital television, digital film, multimedia production, and on-line publication. Students interested in a career in corporate communication can study in our Public Relations/ Organizational Communication Major. This major is ideal for the student interested in the “people” side of the business. The Public Relations Concentration gives students both theory and experiential applications associated with public relations and advertising. A strong foundation in communication theory is enhanced by courses emphasizing writing, constituent analysis, audience research methods, message design, media selection, and campaign development and evaluation. This concentration prepares graduates to work in many facets of public and private sector promotion, including public relations, advertising, and corporate communication, or to pursue post-graduate work in communication or related fields. The Organizational/ Communication Concentration focuses on the communication knowledge and skills needed to succeed as an effective leader in a wide range of community and organizational contexts. Students develop proficiencies in writing, speaking, and interpersonal skills that are vital for an effective leader or manager. Students studying this concentration are prepared for a broad spectrum of careers including human resources, management, communication consulting, politics and public service. Students seeking a well-rounded background in communication focusing on media studies, rhetoric and public address, and human dynamics would be interested in our Communication Studies Major. This major is valuable for students interested in careers centered around personal communication, such as politics, pre-law, speech writing, and media criticism, as well as those students wishing to pursue graduate studies. The teaching philosophy that distinguishes our program from many other undergraduate programs is the belief that a college student’s academic experience should be augmented with applied knowledge gained through practical experience. Our students expand their theoretical knowledge by operating a cable television station (PSTV), an FM radio station (WQKE), and a closed-circuit radio station (WARP). Through these experiences, students familiarize themselves with the various aspects of producing television and radio programming formats, including newscasts, live hockey and basketball telecasting, game shows, talk shows, and music videos. Additionally, several of our courses offer experiential and service learning components that add value and enrichment to the experience. For many students, their studies culminate with a semesterlong, full-time (or part-time) internship at one of more than 60 corporations, broadcasting networks and stations, advertising and public relation agencies, and government offices located throughout New York state.

COMMUNICATION DISORDERS AND SCIENCES DEPARTMENT Professors: P. Coppens, R. Davis, R. Domenico (chairperson), R. Hamernik, S. Hungerford, M. Morgan, R. Wacker-Mundy Lecturers: C. Clifford-Ledyard, K. Gonyo Clinical Directors: N. Allen, A. Gambino Adjunct Faculty: Five positions The B.A./B.S. in communication disorders and sciences (723 curriculum) is a pre-professional track to prepare students for a career as a speech-language pathologist or audiologist. Courses focus on the scientific basis and nature of human communication and its disorders, assessment, and remediation. Students study the normal processes of hearing, speech, and language development and their disorders such as articulation and phonological disorders, language-learning delays/disorders, stuttering, aphasia, dysarthria, autism, cleft palate, voice disorders, hearing impairment, deafness, and others. Highly qualified faculty members, who have an extensive background in the evaluation and treatment of speech, language, and hearing disorders, teach all of the courses. The CDS department’s mission is to effectively prepare students to meet the challenges of our professions by providing quality instruction, modeling/mentoring, and curricular offerings which reflect our diverse society in accordance with the accepted standards of our professions. The department offers a comprehensive curriculum, which integrates academic knowledge and clinical practice. The communication disorders and sciences curriculum meets all the undergraduate requirements for certification with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and all undergraduate coursework requirements for New York State Licensure.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS The goal of the undergraduate program is to provide a solid foundation for the development of clinical expertise. Students are introduced to the department’s Speech and Hearing Center clinic services as part of several undergraduate courses, including the direct observation of some assessment and therapy sessions. This careful preparation occurs before a formal clinical practicum begins as a graduate student and is supervised by the faculty. A select number of seniors are given the opportunity to be clinicians in our on-campus Speech and Hearing Center. Through advanced coursework and participation in the center, students are trained to select and apply effective clinical techniques to help clients acquire/improve speech, voice, listening, and/or language skills. Following completion of coursework for a B.A./B.S. in communication disorders and sciences, students apply to graduate school to pursue a master’s degree. This allows for employment in a variety of settings, which include public schools, hospitals, nursing homes, head trauma centers, community clinics, and private practices. The Certificate Program in the Communication Disorders and Sciences Department is designed to prepare students for entering into a graduate program in the field of speech-language pathology. Students entering the Certificate Program already have a bachelor’s degree in a different field, but do not have the necessary undergraduate course work to apply for a master’s degree program in speech-language pathology. Students may transfer in a maximum of six credits if they already have taken courses included in the certificate program curriculum. Course syllabi must be reviewed by professors before approval of transfer credits. An application packet for the certificate program may be obtained from Graduate Admissions. Deadline for application is April 1.

COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Associate Professor: L. Fairchild, J. Plaza (chairperson) Assistant Professors: D. Hart, S. Gutierrez Adjunct Faculty: Two positions Computer science is the study of algorithms and information, and the use of algorithms and information in the solution of problems. This includes the study of data and information in numeric, non-numeric, and graphical forms. It involves algorithms for the interpretation, transformation, communication, and organization of information. Computer science has evolved through the consolidation and extension of concepts, phenomena,

and philosophies originally associated with a variety of other disciplines, such as mathematics, psychology, physics, linguistics, and philosophy. The discipline has both theoretical and applied components. Theoretical computer science involves the study of the mathematical and logical concepts used in the structure of information and the creation of algorithms, which in turn, lead to the analysis and the design of hardware and software. Applied computer science is concerned with the utilization of the discipline and its machines, not only for the further study of computer science itself, but also for the solution of problems related to various other disciplines. Entry level career fields for computer science majors are numerous and expanding. Current opportunities include software development where computer programs are written or maintained. These programs may enhance the functionality of an operating system, control special purpose devices like a robot or palm pilot. The program may be integrated with the web. It may involve graphics or perform intensive mathematical computations. Database administration and network management are other fields open to the computer science professional. The department offers two degree programs in computer science: the Computer Science (CS) major and the Information Technology (IT) major. The CS major presents a general introduction to the discipline of computer science concentrating on both applied and theoretical aspects of the field. Introductory courses cover the discrete mathematics that relates directly to this discipline, and two additional mathematics courses — calculus and/or statistics or linear algebra — are required as cognates. At a more advanced level there are courses on the theory of computation and analysis of algorithms, while courses on operating systems and computer architecture provide the context for computation. There are two courses that join the abstract and concrete and introduce students to the field of software engineering in which students design and implement software systems. We urge students in this major to undertake an undergraduate research project. The IT major emphasizes the applied aspect of computer science. Students learn to maintain software systems and build complex software systems out of simpler components. Many courses are based on projects that students work on in teams. Modern software systems require well designed human-computer interfaces. They include databases and typically are distributed over the Internet. We expect students to practice sound engineering design principles. Students in the IT major are expected to complete an internship. Since computing has become ubiquitous, an in-depth knowledge of the field of computing is applicable to fields as diverse as art, music, business, and any of the sciences. We urge students to consider pursuing a minor or second majors in these areas. And, we offer a minor in CS and a minor in IT for students who have elected to place their primary emphases in other disciplines.

CENTER FOR EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE SUNY Distinguished Service Professor: J. Dawson SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professors: K. Adams, D. Franzi Professors: D. Adams, D. Bogucki, R. Fuller (director), B. Higgins, R. Lamb, T. Mihuc, M. Roden-Tice, T. Rumney, T. Wolosz, C. Zinser Associate Professors: L. McIlroy, J. Moravek, E. Romanowicz , M. Wu Assistant Professors: D. Garneau, G. Stainback Research Associate: E. Allen Adjunct Faculty: Two positions The Center for Earth and Environmental Science (CEES) has been training environmental scientists, geologists, and geographers for more than 36 years, with over 2,600 alumni across New York state and around the world. More than 20 faculty are focused on undergraduate education, and five hold the prestigious Chancellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for Excellence in Teaching. Nearly all are active

in grant-supported research, so that CEES students get opportunities for hands-on work typically reserved for graduate students elsewhere. CEES students enjoy a diverse landscape including Lake Champlain and the Adirondack mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and alpine summits for recreation and research. Special features of the Center for Earth and Environmental Science include the Applied Environmental Science Program at the W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute; the Lake Champlain Research Institute with a lake research vessel; Remote Sensing Lab; Geographic Information Systems Lab; Fission Track Analysis Lab; Ecosystem Studies Field Lab; plus numerous scholarship, internship, and independent study opportunities. CEES faculty host the Earth and Environmental Science Club, the Environmental Action Committee, and an electronic student journal Scientia Discipulorum. The Center for Earth and Environmental Science offers 13 major programs, including study options within degree programs. In environmental science, there are three major programs. The B.A. in environmental science is the most versatile option, featuring suites of advanced electives in biological, physical, human, and technical areas. These students choose jobs in environmental consulting, work at parks and nature preserves, or become involved with law and policy-making. The B.S. in environmental science emphasizes electives in systems science, such as ecosystem processes, modeling, environmental chemistry, and hydrogeology. Many students from this option are focused on a science or engineering graduate degree, environmental technician jobs, work with state and federal agencies, or environmental consulting roles. The B.A. in environmental science study option in environmental planning and management is of special interest because it emphasizes human dimensions in managing natural resources as well as technical skills in mapping science and geographic information systems (GIS). Students work on a regional scale and are often employed with city, county, and state governments or consulting firms. The B.S. in ecology examines the interactions between organisms and their environment, emphasizing coursework in basic biology and a number of advanced ecology courses at the population, community, and ecosystem level. Students are prepared for graduate work or can become professional ecologists or naturalists in state and federal agencies or private organizations. The geography program provides a broad background in the fields of physical, cultural, and regional geography and covers such subjects as cartography, computer mapping, recreation, environmental conservation, urban planning, planning process, climatology, and urban, economic, and political geography. The skills courses are characterized by small classes, individualized instruction and excellent equipment. Also, geography is involved in interdisciplinary programs, especially planning and Latin American and Canadian studies. The major prepares students for graduate study in geography or for employment in a wide variety of government and business occupations, such as urban and regional

planning, cartography, computer mapping, and surveying. The B.A. in geography study option in global social studies provides students with both the geography courses and other content coursework they would need to be qualified to enter a graduate education program and become social studies teachers in grades 7-12. The B. A. in environmental studies is supported by both the geography and environmental science programs, as well as environmentally themed courses from the social sciences and humanities. It is a multi-disciplinary major that emphasizes the role of social justice and sustainability in developing global environmental solutions. Geology students at SUNY Plattsburgh can choose from five major programs. The B.S. in geology is the most traditional option, requiring a core of physical and historical geology, mineralogy and petrology, structural geology, and sedimentology. These students choose jobs in geotechnical consulting, work at government labs, or use their strong preparation in chemistry, math, and physics to qualify for graduate school in geology. The B.A. in geology features the same core but exchanges some courses in math and other sciences for general electives that allow students to customize their degree in consultation with their academic advisor. Students from this option are also qualified for lab and field technician jobs, work with state and federal agencies, and fill consultant roles. The B.A. in geology study option in environmental geology is similar, except that students have a wider suite of chemistry, environmental science, and geology advanced electives to choose from. Our study option in earth science offers the content students need to pursue teacher certification in earth science at the master’s level. The study of geology can also be pursued through the combined B.A./M.S.T. Geology/Adolescence Education program. This program leads to adolescence education teacher certification in earth science.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS

EXPEDITIONARY STUDIES DEPARTMENT Associate Professor: L. Soroka (chairperson) Instructors: C. Henley, S. Maynard Expeditionary studies provides adventure and outdoor education opportunities for all students at SUNY Plattsburgh. Students interested in pursuing advanced thinking and skills in outdoor activities can take the expeditionary studies major or minor or take selected courses in expeditionary studies to complement study in other majors. For those interested in outdoor recreation as lifelong activities, one- and two-credit courses in rock and ice climbing, sea kayaking, and backcountry skiing are available. Expeditionary studies offers a rigorous adventure education curriculum combining outdoor skills with academic materials. The major prepares students to become outdoor leaders through an integrated program of academic reflection and advanced outdoor training. The course of study recognizes the dynamics of working in an outdoor setting and that outdoor leaders and educators must learn to manage challenging situations, both human and environmental, in that dynamic setting. The expeditionary studies curriculum offers a firm grounding in the liberal arts, in such courses as “The History and Culture of the Expedition,” “Outdoor Ethics,” and “Environmental Justice,” as the foundation for the integration of skill and knowledge. In addition to this foundation, the major requires a specialization leading to advanced training in either climbing, sea kayaking, or backcountry skiing; a supplemental concentration building on both the liberal arts and advanced skill development; and a two-sequence senior capstone requirement culminating in the “Senior Expedition.” Through study and experience, students completing the degree in expeditionary studies will be prepared to work in one of the largest growing segments of the service industries: outdoor recreation. Students will be qualified for jobs in such fields as outdoor education, state and national park service, camp administration, adventure-based counseling, eco-tourism, and professional guiding.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE DEPARTMENT Professors: J. Kleist, J. Ouédraogo (chairperson) Associate Professors: I. Arredondo, M. Cusson, F. Iturburu, C. Sample Lecturers: O. Flores, M. Imaz, I. Lee, M. Queguiner, D. Sarabia Acosta Adjunct Faculty: Three to five positions The Department of Foreign Languages and Literature offers baccalaureate programs in French and in Spanish and minor programs in French, German, and Spanish. It also offers, in conjunction with the Teacher Education Unit, two combined undergraduate and graduate programs: B.A./M.S.T. French/Adolescence Education and B.A./M.S.T. Spanish/Adolescence Education. These programs lead to New York state teacher certification in Adolescence Education (grades 7-12). (See the Combined Programs section of this catalog.)

The majors and minors in foreign languages offer a well-rounded and balanced liberal arts education. Cultural studies focusing on the intellectual, geographic, political, economic, and social structures of the countries in which each language is spoken, and courses geared to developing the ability to analyze, comprehend, and discuss literary themes and art forms, complement the department’s fundamental objectives to expand the student’s oral and written language proficiency and cultural sensibilities to the broadest extent possible. The department’s degree programs begin with a foursemester (12 credit) introductory language sequence (some or all of which qualified students can satisfy through prior credit or by examination), followed by 30 credits of 300-level and 400-level courses devoted primarily to three areas of study: the advancement of linguistic skills through courses in conversation, composition, and grammar; the methodologies of analyzing, interpreting, and understanding literature; and the civilizations, cultures, and literary history generated within the countries where the respective languages are spoken. Generally, the 400-level courses are designed to deepen and broaden the knowledge and skills acquired in the lower level courses; they are intended to provide the capstone experiences for majors, and to help them make the transition to graduate-level study and to professional careers. By design, philosophy, and faculty preparation, the department’s offerings are richly interdisciplinary and purposely multinational. French majors, for example, study not only France but also the literature and culture of French-speaking Canada and the Francophone cultures of Africa and the Caribbean. Students of Spanish study Latin American and Caribbean cultures along with those of the Iberian Peninsula. Students minoring in German study the German-speaking cultures of Austria and Switzerland as well as Germany. Travel and study-away — especially through SUNY programs — are strongly encouraged, and as much as half the student’s major or minor program can be accomplished abroad. Many of the department’s students take advantage of the college’s broad range of study opportunities by accomplishing double majors or minors in such fields as Canadian studies, Latin American studies, international Business, Communication, and other similarly interrelated fields. In addition to courses in French, German, and Spanish, the department regularly offers courses in descriptive and theoretical linguistics and, periodically, courses in Arabic, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, and Russian — depending on faculty resources and student demand. It occasionally offers graduate-level courses (open to qualified seniors) in French and in Spanish as well. Faculty members in the department support and frequently participate instructionally in the college’s honors, women’s studies, and anthropology programs and direct the interdisciplinary minor in human language and linguistics.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT SUNY Distinguished Service Professor: S. Voss Professors: V. Carey, J. Lindgren, J. Rice Associate Professors: S. Beaudreau, W. Gordon (chairperson), J. Hornibrook, G. Kroll Assistant Professors: J. Neuhaus, R. Schaefer, C. Shemo Lecturer: G. Geddes Adjunct Faculty: One position Students of history consider human achievements and problems within an historical perspective and acquire an awareness of the relationship between the past and the present. The department offers two tracks: a traditional liberal arts curriculum (0710) and a study option in teaching preparation that includes all the coursework a student would need to apply to a graduate teacher education program for teaching social studies adolescence education (0194). The department also offers, in conjunction with the Teacher Education Unit, a combined B.A./M.S.T. History/Adolescence Education program that leads to New York state teacher certification in Social Studies (7-12). (For more information, see the Combined Programs section of this catalog.) Within the framework of the traditional curriculum (0710), freshmen and sophomores study the theory and practice of history and different regional historical experiences. All majors complete a junior seminar and senior experience that provide opportunities to examine historical interpretations in a critical light, conduct original historical research, and/or design and complete an applied project. As such, this liberal arts foundation prepares students for a variety of careers, including law, journalism, government, service, business, and employment in archives and historical societies, as well as other occupations that require strong writing and analytical skills. This curriculum is also excellent preparation for graduate or advanced study in many of these areas. For the history study option in teaching preparation (0194), students are introduced to a variety of disciplines associated with the study of history, such as geography, government, and anthropology, as well as an array of history courses through which they can craft a teaching specialty in American, European, or global studies. In addition to studying the theory and practice of history, prospective teachers complete junior and senior seminars devoted to social studies teaching methods.

Students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress toward degree requirements to remain in good academic standing. Students who do not maintain a minimum cumulative and major average of 2.3 will be reviewed by the Academic

Progress Committee and the HDFR chairperson to determine their eligibility to continue in the Human Development and Family Relations Program. b. The human development and family relations faculty are in full cooperation with federal and state guidelines for the accommodation of students with learning and or physical disabilities. Students applying for accommodation for learning/physical disabilities must furnish proof of their disabling condition by submitting certification from a licensed psychometrist and/or physician. Learning disabled students who do not have such certification may be tested through the services of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID), with permission from the student for the Student Support Services (SSS) and the human development and family relations faculty to be apprised of the student’s specific disability and the tester’s recommendations for accommodation strategies. Such testing can be arranged for by SSS, which is located at the Angell College Center. Additionally, students with learning disabilities are strenuously encouraged to utilize the services of the college’s Learning Center, as well as the services of SSS, for the duration of their stay at the college. c. Students must receive a 2.5 grade or higher for the field work program in order to graduate. Failure to do this will result in the need to repeat the field work experience, or, with the advisor’s participation, to change majors. d. No academic credit for life experience or previous work experience will be granted under any circumstances. e. Transfer credit for human services courses taken at another accredited college program will be granted, as deemed appropriate, to prevent duplication of academic credit on the Plattsburgh transcript. f. Transfer credit for previous field work experiences will not be granted, except as elective credit, and not to exceed the maximum allowable limit of transfer credit. Fieldwork Site Selection: Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties have a wide variety of community agencies and child care centers, thus providing fieldwork seekers with ample possibilities from which to choose a site. Fieldwork students may not leave New York state, nor the three North Country counties for purposes of establishing a fieldwork site, in order to facilitate timely visits by the college’s human development and family relations internship supervisor. g. Practicum and internship candidates are expected to follow the external and professional practicum guidelines appropriate to their discipline (refer to specific department/program student/internship manual for details).

United States: the Hispanic/Latino Community. Learning about the people in the many countries of Latin America, and the Latino community in this country, combines the excitement of new intellectual perspectives with preparation for a life of personal involvement with Latinos through work or travel. The major provides broad exposure to a variety of disciplines, as well as Spanish/Portuguese language familiarity, with interdisciplinary experiences at the beginning and end of the sequence to ensure integration and a comprehensive perspective. The major by itself offers an excellent background for a career oriented toward the Latino community in the United States or internationally toward Latin America. It is recommended that the comprehensive exposure the major provides be supplemented and complemented in the following ways: 1) a second, more specifically jobrelated major or minor; and 2) advanced study in either Latin American Studies, another graduate program, or professional training. The minor includes the beginning and concluding interdisciplinary experiences of the major, but with fewer disciplinary requirements; language familiarity is encouraged, though not required. The minor can serve as an introduction to a second field of study, or can be closely coordinated with a number of majors such as business, political science, and education. An expanding number of graduate programs allows one to integrate Latin American Studies into a career field. Some programs have articulation arrangements so that one can pursue a master’s degree in the chosen career and in Latin American Studies at the same time. The Latin American Studies Program regularly participates in the Model Assembly of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C. Each year a delegation of SUNY Plattsburgh students represents one country, competing with delegations from colleges and universities all over the United States and Canada. In past years, Plattsburgh has represented Paraguay, Chile, El Salvador, Bolivia, Uruguay, Barbados, Argentina, and the Dominican Republic. Majors and minors participate through the junior level course LAS 344 and seniors through LAS 444. Faculty encourage students to spend a semester in a State University of New York international program such as the SUNY Plattsburgh programs in Mexico (Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Oaxaca) and the Middlebury College (Vermont) program in Chile. As many as 12 credits toward the major or minor can be met by study in Latin America. The Latin American Studies Program also supports several short-term study opportunities in Mexico and Central America.

MILITARY STUDIES DEPARTMENT Chairperson: M. Palaza Adjunct Faculty: D. Goodfellow, H. Rocheleau The Department of Military Studies provides interested students with the opportunity to participate in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), in affiliation with the Green Mountain Cadet Battalion

headquartered at the University of Vermont. The mission of the department is to provide leadership training to all interested students and to train and prepare students who join the formal Corps of Cadets to serve as commissioned officers in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserves, or National Guard. The program is open to students in all academic programs and features coursework that includes land navigation, field craft tactics, physical fitness, team building, and leadership. Army ROTC is considered a college elective. Students who want to participate do so by signing up for a Military Studies class. ROTC is designed as a fouryear program, but any student, including graduate students, with two or more years of study remaining can participate. Department Course Offerings The four-year Military Studies program at SUNY Plattsburgh consists of a two-year Basic Course (freshman and sophomore years) and two-year Advanced Course (junior and senior years). A fully funded 30-day Leader’s Training Course (LTC) conducted at Fort Knox, Ky. is offered as an alternative to the Basic Course of study, and meets all prerequisites for students wishing to start ROTC at the end of their sophomore year. The department offers Military Physical Training class Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for all cadets as a student-led activity.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS

MUSIC DEPARTMENT Professor: R. Davies (chairperson) Assistant Professors: D. Gordon, J. Miano Assistant Professors: K. Becker, W. Pfaff Adjunct Faculty: Twelve positions The music program is designed to develop students’ musical abilities in three basic areas—performance, music theory/composition/technology, and music history. Emphasis is placed on the individual’s technical and creative growth through private applied instruction, available on most instruments, in voice and in composition/jazz studies. The discipline and competence developed through this individualized study is applied to and reinforced by the performing ensembles (vocal and instrumental, large and small). Courses in music theory provide the knowledge of the raw materials of music necessary for confident, informed, and expressive performance, as well as for rewarding listening and critical evaluation of music. Study in music technology provides laboratory experience and opportunities for students to develop collaborative projects in mass media, composition, and performance. Music history courses develop students’ perspectives on the changing styles of our musical traditions, an awareness of the times, an understanding of the relations between these styles and the cultures in which they evolved, and an acquaintance with some of the great works created over the centuries. The department offers three program options — the B.A. in music, the music minor, and the music concentration for childhood education majors. The music major (46-52 credits), with its technology component and its support for interdisciplinary and service learning, allows students to combine studies in music with a related discipline on campus, encouraging interdisciplinary thinking and applications. Students will receive broad coverage of music that develops musicianship skills, capabilities in the use of principles and procedures that lead to an intellectual grasp of the art, and the ability to perform. The minor in music (21-24 credits) allows students to develop basic expertise in the field through an organized program of study that becomes part of their permanent record. The music minor provides students not only with skills in music but also skills in critical and creative thinking, in analysis and communication. Childhood education majors may elect a concentration in music (32-39 credits). Students acquire a strong foundation in musical skills and explore the applications of those skills to the childhood education classroom. The Plattsburgh campus and community provide an ideal environment for the development of musical interests. Concerts featuring music students, music faculty and visiting guest artists take place frequently during each semester. Students and faculty occasionally perform together in small ensembles. Students in the Music Council also have a role in determining the guest artists each year, and all have the opportunity to interact with performers in workshops or in informal social settings. 108 www.plattsburgh.edu

The department holds frequent convocations for all students taking private lessons, during which there are informal performances, master classes, lively discussions and special presentations by faculty, students and guests.

Nursing Program

The nursing program leads to a Bachelor of Science with a major in nursing. Its primary mission is to prepare excellent professional nurses capable of meeting the dynamic healthcare needs of individuals, families, groups, and communities. Another essential value is for faculty and students to provide service to the community and region in a commitment to social responsibility. The undergraduate nursing curriculum is rooted in a foundation of the sciences, humanities, and technology and informational literacy, complemented by a broadbased, multicultural general education program. Socialization to the professional role is developed through organizational and curricular experiences and

a strong interactional relationship between faculty and students. The program’s focus on intellectual development prepares individuals for graduate study. There is a curriculum track for students who wish to become registered nurses as well as a track (RN-to-BS Online Program Option) for registered nurses with an A.A.S. or diploma in nursing who want to pursue baccalaureate study. In service to this unique, rural region, the RN-to-BS Online Program Option provides registered nurses the opportunity to continue their nursing and liberal studies in a challenging and supportive climate. The nursing program accepts high school graduates, college transfer students, and graduates of associate degree or diploma nursing programs who meet admission requirements. Those who complete program requirements receive the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing. Graduates who do not hold R.N. licensure are eligible to sit for the professional nurse licensing examination (NCLEX-RN). The nursing program is registered by the New York State Education Department and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The program holds membership in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the Council of Deans of Nursing of Senior Colleges and Universities in New York. It supports an active chapter (Gamma Delta) in Sigma Theta Tau, International Honor Society of Nursing.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS, DEPARTMENTS AND MAJOR PROGRAMS Change of Major

Students who wish to declare a major in nursing after admission or enrollment at the college must first obtain approval from the Department of Nursing and Nutrition. Admission will be contingent upon academic qualifications and available space in the transfer class. An overall grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for all college-level course work completed is required. Requests are considered once a year, at the end of the spring semester. Contact the Nursing and Nutrition Department (564-3124) for more information; requests and supporting materials are due May 15.

Progression Policy

In order to progress within the nursing major, students must meet the following requirements: 1. Students must have an overall GPA of 2.5 prior to entering junior-level nursing courses. 2. Students must achieve a grade of C or better in all required nursing courses to continue in the nursing program. 3. Students must complete cognate requirements with a grade of C or better (P grades are not acceptable) prior to taking junior level nursing courses. 4. Required cognate and nursing courses can be repeated only once. A student may repeat no more than two required courses within the total program. 5. Students must demonstrate satisfactory performance in both theory and clinical portions of a nursing course in order to be successful in a nursing course with both a theory and a clinical component. Failure to successfully complete either portion (theory or clinical) will constitute a failure for the course. 6.

Residency Requirement

Students registered in the RN-BS Online Program Option are exempt from the Senior Residency Requirement.

Health Regulation

All students must meet the health requirements of the nursing program and affiliating clinical agencies. A health form provided by the nursing program must be on file each year before a student may take a nursing course with an off-campus clinical laboratory component. Failure to submit the completed health report automatically prevents admission to the clinical laboratory experience. Many health care organizations require students practicing in their agencies to receive the Hepatitis B vaccination or sign a declination statement as a condition of practicing in the facility. The 110 www.plattsburgh.edu

Hepatitis B vaccination is a safe and effective method of preventing Hepatitis B infection. Questions about this health facility vaccination requirement should be directed to the Champlain Valley Physician’s Hospital Medical Center, Plattsburgh, N.Y., 518-561-2000. It is the student’s responsibility to know and meet current health regulations. Health forms can be obtained from the Nursing Office, Hawkins Hall 209A.

Transportation

The college does not assume either responsibility or cost for student transportation to agencies for clinical experiences.

Uniforms and Equipment

Students are responsible for purchasing uniforms and equipment such as a stethoscope, bandage scissors, and a watch with a second hand. Information is provided for students as to current price lists and suggested vendors at the beginning of their Nursing Fundamentals course.

Instructional Facilities

Students are expected to use the practice equipment in the nursing skills laboratory. Clinical experiences are provided by a variety of hospitals and other health agencies. Clinical course work is under the direct supervision of the nursing program faculty at all facilities used for instruction. A few of the clinical facilities available for students include Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital Medical Center, Clinton County Health Department, and Alice Hyde Medical Center. Community aspects of the nursing program rely upon a wide variety of communitybased health agencies. Practicum and internship candidates are expected to follow the external and professional practicum guidelines appropriate to their discipline.

PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor: D. Mowry Professor: B. Dixon, C. List Associate Professors: D. Maier (chairperson) Assistant Professor: K. Hagen Adjunct Faculty: One position Philosophy encompasses a broad range of subjects and a wide variety of methodologies. The Department of Philosophy offers two programs: a traditional philosophy program (701) and a study option in Ethics and Social Philosophy (699). Students in both programs will develop analytical and critical thinking skills. They will gain an understanding of the human condition, our relationships to others, and the complexities of our world. Philosophy students acquire a broad acquaintance with important philosophers and methodologies of the past and present. The philosophy programs easily accommodate students who want to supplement their work in philosophy with a wide range of career and intellectual interests. Many students are double majors. Some students pursue a bachelor’s degree in philosophy as an end in itself, while others proceed to graduate studies. Philosophy provides an excellent liberal arts foundation that prepares students for a variety of careers in fields such as law, business, or mass media, as well as other occupations that require strong writing and critical thinking skills.

Porter Preparation for a career in physics is the primary goal of this program. But, since many career areas in the field of science are multidisciplinary in nature and involve the solution of mission-oriented problems, the program in physics provides a solid background in science and mathematics with the opportunity to select courses that fulfill personal educational and career goals. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of this curriculum, a specific program can be coordinated with work in such areas as mathematics, chemistry, biophysics, geophysics, computer science, and environmental science, either in a double major format or in a program concentration or minor field.

Students will acquire the background necessary to enter industrial research laboratories or graduate degree programs. The Physics Department offers, in conjunction with the Teacher Education Unit, a combined B.A./M.S.T. Physics/ Adolescence Education program that leads to New York state teacher certification in Physics 7-12. For more information, see the Combined Programs section of this catalog. Students interested in a career in engineering can major in the physics engineering option. See engineering and the requirements for the physics engineering option.

SOCIOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT Professors: L. Ames, S. Light, T. Poveda, C. Simpson, R. Weiss Associate Professors: D. Perez, S. Rezac (chairperson) Assistant Professors: M. Ciobanu, L. Eastwood, B. Klocke, W. Peters, L. Schlesinger Lecturer: C. Dunton Adjunct Faculty: Five positions Sociology is the study of social life and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Its subject matter ranges from the intimate family to the multi-national corporation, from crime to medicine, from the sociology of work to the sociology of globalization. The sociology curriculum leads to the B.A. in sociology. All students complete the core curriculum, which includes courses in research methods and theory, and four areas of sociological focus: global dynamics; social inequality; social institutions; and law, crime, and human rights. The program provides a sociological interpretation of American and world societies in a historical and comparative context. The department also administers the B.A. in criminal justice program. It builds upon the lower-level work of students, many of whom transfer from community college criminal justice programs. It also meets the needs of active corrections and law enforcement personnel who wish to further their education for personal or professional development and career advancement. Additionally, the program serves the intellectual interests of students concerned with problems and issues peculiar to criminal justice, including those considering law school. The major in sociology or criminal justice offers valuable preparation for many different careers. Some students pursue graduate study and eventually enter careers in teaching and in research. Sociology and criminal justice are also popular majors for students interested in social services, criminal justice, public administration, business, law, public health, or urban and regional planning. Students with junior standing may pursue the B.S. in criminal justice program at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Branch Campus at Adirondack Community College, Queensbury, NY. For more information on the Branch Campus, see Branch Campus in the Regional, Local, and Campus Overview section of this catalog.

National Accreditation

The New York State Board of Regents has mandated that all teacher education programs in the state be accredited. SUNY Plattsburgh is actively pursuing national accreditation following a plan approved by the State Education Department. The accreditation process requires a comprehensive application that documents ongoing curriculum and program review, together with assessment of such quality indicators as program completers’ characteristics, admissions requirements, adequacy of facilities and budget, professional preparation of faculty, and other information to meet rigorous state and national professional standards.

Notice of Education Program Changes

Because teacher education certification programs and requirements may change, it is the student’s responsibility to be aware of all graduation requirements necessary for certification. Education majors should check with the Director of Field Experience and Student Teaching, consult with the appropriate program leader, attend group advising sessions and make regular appointments with their advisors in order to select and schedule courses. All certification questions should be directed to the Office of Certification and Graduate Advising (Sibley 302A, 518-564-2124). The Teacher Education Unit will comply with any new SUNY or NYS Education Department regulations needed to allow education majors who follow and complete the appropriate programs to be recommended for certification. Every effort will be made to contact education majors about any changes in program requirements, but students are ultimately responsible for meeting program requirements.

Shared Vision

The professional education faculty at SUNY Plattsburgh engages in the professional development of educators at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Our purpose is to prepare educators who are competent, caring, and qualified relative to NYSED standards; who are anchored in the college’s commitment to the liberal arts; and who endeavor to practice effective pedagogy, reflect critically upon teaching and the learning process, and exemplify ethical, human, and democratic principles within a complex, technological, global society. Concurrent with academic study, our professional teacher education programs call upon our students and school leaders to

engage in a process of socialization into the profession through early and continuous learning experiences and mentorship. In partnership with college departments, schools, and communities, our professional education programs prepare reflective, facilitative educators at the initial level, and proficient reflective educators at the advanced level. Both levels use scholarship, research, and exploration of effective practices in the education professions. The professional education faculty shared vision ensures coherence among content knowledge, pedagogy, field experiences, and student performance that is assessed in both a formative and summative manner for all teacher-preparation programs. The shared vision reflects our commitment to diversity and technology across the curriculum, and dedication to preparing our education majors to work with students with culturally and ethnically diverse backgrounds and students with disabilities—all students. The faculty is committed to preparing graduates who engage in facilitative actions learned, reflected upon, and understood to teach and enlighten others. The portion of our shared vision that most provides clarity, coherence, and continuity among our program areas is embedded in the following nine themes, a body of agreed-upon common goals that serve to both underlie and support SUNY Plattsburgh’s claims for program accreditation.

WOMEN’S STUDIES DEPARTMENT Associate Professor: S. Sharoni (chairperson) Assistant Professor: C. Oxford Lecturer: K. Branagan Adjunct Faculty: Four positions Women’s Studies broadens students’ knowledge and awareness of gender dynamics. In our interdisciplinary courses, students learn about feminism as a powerful analytical framework. They examine how social and cultural institutions have historically treated men and women differently and how these differences reinforced the economic, social, and political disadvantage of women. We treat gender as a socially constructed category and the issues we address in our courses provide students with tools to critically examine their own identity, social location, and relationships. We pay particular attention to issues of power, privilege, and structured inequalities by learning how gender intersects with other differences, including, but not limited to, those based on race, class, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion and culture. We also consider inspiring accounts of activism and struggles for gender equality and social justice across cultures and contexts, both locally and globally. Our curriculum is comprised of several required courses for majors and minors, Women’s Studies electives, as well as electives taught in other departments. Students choose a major in Women’s Studies, or a minor in Women’s Studies (paired with a major in another field). Although it is not required, many of our majors chose a second major in another field. In addition to pursuing their course work, students are encouraged to participate in student organizations and to attend our forums and special events. We nurture our students and seek to enhance their personal and intellectual journeys through close mentoring, regular advising, internships, independent studies, teaching assistantships, and unique study abroad opportunities. Many of our graduates choose to pursue advanced degrees in Women’s Studies or related fields. Others find careers in politics, international organizations, community leadership, education, social work, health care, business and the arts.

COMBINED BACHELOR’S / MASTER’S PROGRAMS

COMBINED BACHELOR OF ARTS/MASTER OF SCIENCE FOR TEACHERS ADOLESCENCE EDUCATION Program Leader: Dr. Mark Beatham, 518-564-5142 Email: mark.beatham@plattsburgh.edu Sibley Hall, Room 418C

The Program

The combined bachelor of arts in selected subject areas and master of science for teachers programs prepare persons for adolescence education teaching grades 7-12. Each program leads to a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, and initial and professional certification in one of the following areas: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, English, French, Mathematics, Physics, Social Studies, or Spanish. In addition to completing general education and undergraduate courses in the subject area, students in these programs take an undergraduate course in education during their sophomore year that introduces them to foundations of education and prepares them for classroom experience. In the eighth semester of full-time study (or equivalent) students can take up to four graduate education courses. With careful planning, each program can be completed in five years and one summer of full-time study. Students enrolled in a combined program are classified as undergraduates (and are charged undergraduate tuition) until the semester during which they enroll for the 13th credit of graduate courses attempted. (A graduate course in which a student receives any grade, including I, W, WC, or E, is counted as attempted.) Upon verification by the Academic Progress Committee that the student has met all academic progress requirements, and the completion of the Application for Continuation of Graduate Study form, he/she is advanced to graduate status (and graduate tuition applies for that semester and the duration of the program, packaged, if applicable, with graduate forms of financial aid). In these combined programs the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are conferred simultaneously upon completion of all program requirements. If at any point a student enrolled in a combined program is found to have failed to meet any academic progress requirements, he/she may be counseled to repeat selected coursework or other requirements, or he/she may be transferred into a corresponding subject area bachelor’s program. For the shared vision and program themes of the professional education faculty at SUNY Plattsburgh, see Teacher Education Unit in the Academic Departments, Centers, and Major Programs section of this catalog.

150 www.plattsburgh.edu

Admission Requirements

Applicants for the combined B.A./M.S.T. Program must meet general college requirements and admission procedures for undergraduate study. (See Admissions section of the catalog.) Students entering the program as freshmen (with fewer than 28 credits) must have a high school average of at least 85 percent and combined SAT scores of at least 1575 (1050). Students not meeting these admission requirements may enter the corresponding subject area undergraduate degree programs and apply to transfer into the B.A./M.S.T. Program upon meeting minimum cumulative GPA requirements (2.75) for at least one semester, or they may apply for admission to the M.S.T. Program after completion of an appropriate undergraduate degree. Students transferring into the program with 28 or more credits (from another program at SUNY Plattsburgh or from another institution) must have at least a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Failing this, they may transfer into the corresponding subject area major and petition to transfer into the B.A./M.S.T. Program once they have shown satisfactory progress at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Monitoring of Student Progress

Upon acceptance into a combined degree program, the student is assigned an advisor from the subject area and an advisor from the Teacher Education Unit. Beginning with EDU 280 Introduction to Adolescence Education, normally in the fourth semester, the student will maintain a portfolio, which will be reviewed each semester by the academic advisors and is an important assessment tool in the evaluation of the student’s progress. If a student’s cumulative GPA falls below 2.75 for undergraduate work or 3.0 for graduate work, or his/ her portfolio is deficient, his/her record will be reviewed by the Academic Progress Committee and he/she may be subject to academic remediation or dismissal from the combined B.A./M.S.T. Program. Dismissed students may petition for readmission to the B.A./M.S.T. Program. Students are expected to behave in ways that are consistent with the commitment to professional and ethical behavior, academic excellence and diligence, and dedication to the teaching profession. Advisors and the Academic Progress Committee review any deviations from ethical standards, and, after due process, may recommend action or dismissal from the program. Students who exhibit deficiencies in ethical or professional behavior and/or teaching performance may be subject to dismissal from the program, regardless of their GPA.

Promotion to Graduate Status

When a student registers for his/her first graduate course, his/her academic record and portfolio will be reviewed for promotion to graduate status. A student’s promotion to graduate status also depends upon maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 in undergraduate courses and 3.0 in graduate courses and the completion of the Application for Continuation of Graduate Study form obtained from the Office of Graduate Advising, Sibley 302A.

COMBINED BACHELOR’S / MASTER’S PROGRAMS

Students must apply for student teaching placement in February of the year before the intended student teaching semester. Additionally, they must attend one of the mandatory application/orientation meetings, complete an application form, and pay an application fee at the Student Accounts Office. Prior to student teaching a student must have completed: 1. A minimum of 22 graduate hours with a minimum cumulative (graduate) GPA of 3.0. 2. All required graduate professional education courses through the semester preceding the student teaching experience with no grade below a B. See additional information about student teaching and teacher certification in the Teacher Education Unit section of this catalog.

Capstone Project

Students must successfully complete a portfolio, begun in EDU 280 Introduction to Adolescence Education, taken in the fourth or fifth semester of fulltime (or equivalent) course work. Artifacts from the undergraduate content major as well as from graduate education courses that demonstrate a blending of content area and pedagogy will be added to the portfolio throughout the remaining program of study. The portfolio is used by academic advisors from both the content area and the Teacher Education Unit and by the Academic Progress Committee to monitor student progress. (See above.) Certification by the Academic Progress Committee that the portfolio has been satisfactorily completed is required for graduation from the combined B.A./M.S.T. Programs. For more information, contact the program leader, Dr. Mark Beatham, and/or the chairperson of the specific content area: Biology, Dr. Neil Buckley Chemistry, Dr. Edward Miller English, Dr. Thomas Morrissey French, Dr. Jean Ouédraogo Geology, Dr. Robert Fuller History, Dr. Wendy Gordon Mathematics, Dr. David Kenoyer Physics, Dr. Thomas Wolosz Spanish, Dr. Jean Ouédraogo

SUNY Plattsburgh is one of the original arts and science colleges in the State University of New York System, enrolling over 5,700 undergraduate students and 625 graduate students. Graduate programs permit advanced study in childhood, adolescence, literacy, and special education; curriculum and instruction; educational leadership; school counseling; college and agency counseling; mental health counseling; school psychology; speech-language pathology; natural science; and a leadership concentration in liberal studies. These advanced programs provide persons with baccalaureate degrees opportunities for professional enhancement, professional certification, and personal academic enrichment. Having acquired a broad education as undergraduates, graduate degree candidates are expected to master a special field and learn the methods of investigation and professional skills of that field. SUNY Plattsburgh is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools [3624 Market St., Philadelphia, P.A. 19104-2680; telephone 215-662-5606] and the State University of New York Board of Regents. The teacher education, school counseling, school psychology, and speech-language pathology programs are approved and registered by the Bureau of Teacher Education and Certification of the New York State Education Department. The mental health counseling program is also approved and registered by the New York State Education Department. In addition, specialty accreditations are held by several graduate programs. Graduate programs are administered by their respective academic departments and deans’ offices. They are coordinated through the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. In addition, the Graduate Studies Council, comprised of representatives from the various programs, meets throughout the year to review and make recommendations concerning policies and procedures pertinent to graduate programs.

Graduate Admission Policies and Procedures Admission to SUNY Plattsburgh is granted without regard to race, creed, color, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or handicap.

Matriculated Study A matriculated graduate student is one who has been

admitted to the college through the Graduate Admissions Office and is working toward the completion of a degree. A matriculated student may be a full-time student (enrolled for a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester) or a part-time student (enrolled for fewer than 12 credit hours per semester). In order to be considered a matriculated graduate student, it is important to take at least one course during the semester for which you are accepted. Completed applications for admission should be filed in the Graduate Admissions Office for fall semester by February 15 for all programs. Counselor Education, Education programs (except M.S.T. Childhood and Adolescence Education), and Natural Science also accept students to begin matriculated study in the spring semester (applications due October 15). Applications received after the due date are considered on a space available basis unless the graduate program conducts interviews. Applications are 160 www.plattsburgh.edu

available from the Graduate Admissions Office at 518-564-GRAD (4723) or toll free 800-723-9515. Completed applications are forwarded to the faculty responsible for the degree program for their review. Application decisions are then sent to the program director and/or dean for approval. The Graduate Admissions Office notifies the student of the decision and of any applicable transfer credit. Students planning to earn a degree or a certificate on a part-time enrollment basis must apply for admission by the same dates as full-time students.

Non-Matriculated Study Non-matriculated students are those who have not

applied for admission and who have not been accepted into a degree program. Graduate coursework, as a nonmatriculated student, is open on a space available basis to all persons who have earned a bachelor’s degree. Although formal admission to the college is not required for non-matriculated study, the following guidelines should be noted: 1. Non-matriculated students who subsequently wish to pursue a master’s degree or C.A.S. program must have at least a B (3.0) grade point average in completed graduate credits and conform to all general and specific regulations for admission to their program of choice. 2. No more than 12 graduate credit hours taken as a non-matriculated student (including credits earned at SUNY Plattsburgh) may be applied toward a graduate degree at SUNY Plattsburgh. It is strongly recommended that non-matriculated students discuss their plans with an advisor in the appropriate department/program before taking any courses. 3. The college reserves the right to grant or not to grant credit toward a graduate degree for specific courses taken as a non-matriculated student, even if those courses were successfully completed. 4. It is the student’s responsibility to apply for matriculation in a degree program before 12 credits have been earned in non-matriculated status; otherwise previously earned credits may not be applicable toward degree requirements. 5. Successful completion of graduate work does not guarantee admission to a particular program of study. The college may deny matriculation of former non-matriculated students if, in the opinion of the admissions committee, admission requirements are not met.

Graduate Application Deadline Dates FALL SEMESTER February 15 All programs SUMMER SESSIONS February 15 Special Education, Educational Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, Literacy, Childhood Education, and Adolescence Education.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Graduate students must maintain satisfactory academic progress in order to remain eligible for federal and state aid programs. At the end of each semester, the Financial Aid Office evaluates whether graduate students satisfy federal and state academic standards. If a student fails any of these standards, the Financial Office forwards the student a courtesy letter and may be required to cancel all financial aid for which the student is ineligible.

Federal Standards

The standards for federal aid programs for graduate students are: 1.) maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 164 www.plattsburgh.edu

3.0 at Plattsburgh, and 2.) graduate within ten years. The first time a student fails the GPA standard, the student is automatically assigned one semester of probation and continues to receive federal aid during this probationary semester. If a student using a probationary semester does not satisfy all standards by the end of this probationary semester, he/she becomes ineligible for federal aid the following semester. Note that pass (P) grades are considered completed credits, although the following are not: failure (E), incomplete (I), in progress (IP), withdrawal from course (W), withdrawal from college (WC), non-credit (NC), non-available (N), proficiency (PR), and audit (AU). Students may repeat course work in accordance with college academic policy. (See “Repeating a Course” in the Academic Policies, Standards, and Information section of this catalog.) Students may appeal to waive ineligibility. (See “Appeal for a Waiver” in the Financial Aid section of this catalog.)

State Standards

The table below lists the two academic standards for state aid programs for graduate students. Students consume 6 TAP points for each full-time semester with a TAP award. Unlike federal regulations, the state does not have a probationary semester. Note that incomplete (I), in progress (IP), and failure (E) grades are considered completed credits, although the following are not: withdrawal from course (W), withdrawal from college (WC), non-credit (NC), non-available (N), proficiency (PR), and audit (AU). Students may only repeat coursework if the course is both required for graduation and the student did not originally receive a grade that is required for graduation. Students may appeal to waive ineligibility. (See “Appeal for a Waiver” in the Financial Aid section of this catalog.)

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS

Most SUNY Plattsburgh academic policies apply to both graduate and undergraduate students. See the Academic Policies, Standards, and Information section of this catalog for these general policies. Because academic policies and standards are subject to change, students are expected to keep in touch with their academic advisors. For the most recent regulations dealing with certification of teachers, school administrators, etc., consult the Dean of Education, Health, and Human Services 518-564-3066 or the Office of Certification and Graduate Advising 518-564-2124.

Matriculation for Degree Candidates

All decisions regarding credit transfers, course validation, program selection, graduate admission test scores, etc. are completed at the time students are admitted to a degree program and become matriculated students. A student may be required to remove deficiencies or complete prerequisites by taking certain prescribed undergraduate or graduate courses. Usually this requirement is formulated as a special condition of admission to a program, but departments may require a student to take a specific course at any time if it is deemed necessary. Each matriculated graduate student is assigned an advisor at the time of admission by the department/ program which sponsors the program. The advisor is the main resource person for the matriculated student in all matters dealing with the program, policies, and standards. The matriculated student should consult with the advisor before registering for courses. No student can be matriculated in more than one program at a time.

Graduate Course Credit

Graduate credit can be earned only by successfully completing courses which have been specifically developed for offering at the graduate level and carry 500-level numbers. Graduate students who wish to earn graduate credit for a course that is not a regular and approved graduate course for the program may be able to do so under special circumstances through the independent study option. Graduate students who wish to take a course offered at another college must have approval in advance from their academic advisor, chair/director, and dean. (The Permission for Off-Campus Study form is available at the Registrar’s Office and online at www.plattsburgh.edu/register.) Each course taken through the permission to attend another institution process must have a minimum grade of B (3.0) in order to transfer. A minimum of 18 credit hours must be completed at Plattsburgh for a 30 credit hour master’s degree program; a minimum of 21 credit hours must be completed at Plattsburgh for a graduate degree program of more than 30 credit hours.

Course Withdrawal Policy

See the Academic Policies, Standards, and Information section of this catalog for course withdrawal policies and procedures.

Independent Studies

In academically justified cases, matriculated graduate students may be permitted to take independent study courses for graduate credit. To be eligible to undertake independent study, a graduate student should have a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or better. No more than nine (9) credit hours toward a graduate degree may be earned through independent studies. The signatures of the faculty member sponsoring the study and of the advisor are required. The request must also be signed by the chair/director of the department/ program offering the course before being forwarded to the appropriate dean. Approved petitions must reach the Registrar’s Office no later than the end of the second week of classes. Therefore, requests for independent study must be filed with the Dean’s Office as early as possible, preferably before the beginning of the semester or session.

Maximum Course Load

The maximum course load for graduate students is fifteen (15) credit hours per semester, fifteen (15) credit hours in all sessions of one summer, and seven (7) credit hours in a winter session. Graduate students need to obtain special permission (using the Authorization to Register for Credit Hour Overload form, available from the Registrar’s Office and online at www.plattsburgh. edu/register) from the department chair and dean of their division in order to register for more than the maximum course load.

Grading System

The grading system for graduate work is A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, and E (failure). As a rule, matriculated students will receive such a letter grade in regularly scheduled courses. For research courses, projects, internships, thesis work, or workshops, departments/programs have the option to use a Pass/Fail system. A “Pass” (P) will be awarded for performance equivalent to letter grades of A through C, but will not be computed in the GPA. However, a “Fail” grade will be computed in the GPA as a grade of E. Graduate students can request to take other courses for a Pass/Fail. The P/F system should be used judiciously for courses other than those listed above and should be arranged and approved during the first two weeks of the semester. A grade of IP (in progress) may be assigned for incomplete thesis work, thesis seminars, field work, and other equivalent long-range projects. If a final grade has not been assigned by the instructor two years after the recording of a grade of IP, the IP will become an E. Thereafter, the student must re-enroll in the course (and pay any tuition and fees required) if he or she wishes to complete it and receive a grade (and credit) for the course. For SUNY Plattsburgh’s policy and procedures concerning Incomplete (I) grades, see the Academic

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS Policies, standards, and Information section of this catalog.

Academic Progress

Each student must successfully complete the number of credit hours, both in total and in the specific distribution, required by the particular curriculum in which the student is enrolled. Moreover, all matriculated graduate students must maintain at least a B (3.0) GPA. Failure to do so will result in being put on probation or dismissed from the college. For specific procedures regarding academic progress, review, probation, and appeal, consult your academic advisor.

Branch Campus

Three graduate-level programs in education (M.S.T. Adolescence Education, M.S.T. Childhood Education, M.S.Ed. Curriculum and Instruction) and other courses in education and in liberal studies are currently offered to students at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Branch Campus at Adirondack Community College (ACC) in Queensbury. Students seeking to complete a graduate program (other than the three noted above) through courses taken at the Branch Campus must take at least one course at SUNY Plattsburgh’s Main Campus. In other respects, the requirements for entry, retention, and completion of the professional education and Master of Arts in Liberal Studies programs are the same for students undertaking coursework at the Branch Campus as they are for students who complete all their course work on the Main Campus. Approximately 200 graduate students enroll in courses offered at the Branch Campus at ACC. In cooperation with ACC, SUNY Plattsburgh offers students a variety of services at ACC, including library facilities, computer and Internet use, textbooks and supplies easily available through the bookstore, and food services. At the SUNY Plattsburgh Branch Campus office, located on the ACC campus, students may obtain information on programs, admissions and registration procedures, and schedules of courses as well as academic advisement. Open Monday through Friday, this office offers assistance in handling all areas of academics, from purchasing textbooks and securing a student identification card to registering for comprehensive examinations and graduate admissions tests. Prospective students are urged to call 518-792-5425 for an appointment or request information via the Branch Campus Web site at www.plattsburgh.edu/branch campus/acc.

Ethical Standards

The entire period of a student’s matriculation in a graduate program is a professional and academic development experience including internships, laboratories, and field work. Students are expected to conduct themselves during this time in a manner which is consistent with accepted standards of professional, academic, and ethical practice and behavior as judged by their department and professional organization. Practicum and internship candidates are expected to follow the external and professional practicum 166 www.plattsburgh.edu

guidelines appropriate to their disciplines, as outlined in departmental/program student/internship manuals. Any deviation from these standards will be reviewed by the department for a recommendation of academic dismissal. In addition to the expectation of professional and ethical behavior as part of a graduate student’s conduct while enrolled in an academic program, graduate students are expected to abide by the college’s academic honesty policy (see the Academic Policies, Standards, and Information section of this catalog) and by the regulations in the Student Code of Conduct Manual (available at www.plattsburgh.edu/ studentlife/judicialcharges/conductcode.php) and in any departmental publications. All students are held accountable to these regulations under the College Judicial System.

Grievance Procedure

Students who believe that they have been unjustly treated by a member of the faculty may wish to seek redress in the form of a grievance. Any student who has a grievance should first attempt to reach a resolution with the faculty member concerned. If this resolution is not satisfactory, the student should consult with the faculty member’s department chairperson concerning the all-college grievance procedure.

Residency

The minimum number of SUNY Plattsburgh graduate credits that must be applied to a 30-credit program is 18, and the minimum for any graduate program requiring more than 30 credits is 21. For programspecific residency requirements, consult the program coordinators. Courses completed at SUNY Plattsburgh as a non-matriculated student count toward the residency requirement. Students seeking to complete course work at another institution after matriculation at SUNY Plattsburgh must receive approval from the department and dean. (See Graduate Course Credit above.)

Interruption of Studies

Once matriculated, graduate students remain matriculated whether or not they are taking courses. Matriculated students who do not enroll in at least one course for any fall or spring semester are asked to complete the Graduate Studies College Withdrawal form available at www.plattsburgh.edu/admissions/graduate/ forms.php. Students should be aware of the time limitations for completing a degree and retaining credits for both master’s degrees and certificates of advanced study.

Time Limits

For master’s degree programs of less than 60 credits, students matriculated in fall 2007 or later must complete all degree requirements within seven (7) years of the date of matriculation. For master’s degree programs of 60 credits or more and all certificate of advanced study programs, students matriculated in fall 2007 or later must complete all degree requirements within ten (10) years of the date of matriculation. For all graduate

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS

Graduation

It is the student’s responsibility to fulfill all requirements for a degree. (For specific degree requirements, see graduate degree program descriptions.) The following steps must also be taken to ensure timely awarding of degrees: 1.

Reaser, K. Relaford The Programs

The Counselor Education Department offers graduate programs in the following areas: College and Agency Counseling (M.S.) Student Affairs Professional Practice (Curr: 0881) Mental Health Counseling (M.S.) (Curr: 8000) School Counselor (M.S.Ed./C.A.S.) (Curr: 0908) These comprehensive professional education programs combine theoretical and skill-based approaches to serving clients, focusing on the preparation of professional counselors who have the commitment, knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and self-awareness to offer quality counseling services to individuals, families, and groups in educational and community settings. The programs can be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis, up to the point of internship when a full-time commitment is generally required. (Visit our Web site at www.plattsburgh.edu/academics/counselored.) The Master of Science program option in Student Affairs Professional Practice requires the equivalent of two years of full-time study and 48 credit hours of academic work. It prepares individuals to work on college and university campuses in positions which require counseling background, knowledge of college student development, and skill in program development and implementation. The program in Mental Health Counseling prepares persons for work in a broad range of positions calling for counseling expertise in private and public agencies. This program embodies a community mental health orientation with courses in psychopathology and mental health counseling, psycho-pharmacology, and suicidology. Students who wish to work with families, children, or issues of substance abuse may take electives specific to those concerns. The mental health counseling program is registered with the New York State Education Department. Upon completion of the program graduates

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS

Admission Requirements

General college requirements and admissions procedures for graduate study must be met and openings in programs must be available. Specific additional provisions of the Counselor Education Department require that the applicant: 1. Has earned at least 12 credit hours in psychology, human services, education, or closely related areas and completed specific coursework in statistics; 2. Presents a Graduate Record Examination or a Miller Analogies Test score which falls in the upper three quartiles of national norms; 3. Meets a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 2.8; and 4. Provides evidence through statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and personal interviews of potential for success as a professional counselor.

Monitoring of Student Progress

Upon acceptance into the program, each student is assigned an advisor who guides the student in selecting courses to fit the student’s program. Courses in the counseling programs are planned to give a balanced selection of academic and experiential education and to encourage each student to achieve maximum professional competence. Academic and professional development evaluations are made of all students each semester to ensure compliance with program standards. If a student’s cumulative grade point average falls below 3.0, the student may be dismissed from the program or prohibited from completing the clinical aspects of the program until the deficiency is made up. In addition, students who exhibit deficits in counseling performance and/or professionalism, regardless of grade point average, will be identified by the faculty and decisions for action will be specified. These decisions will be communicated to the student by either his or her advisor or the assembled faculty.

A “Handbook for Students and Advisors” is available to matriculated counseling students to explain further the options and procedures within the counseling program. It is the position of the Counselor Education Department that the entire period of a student’s matriculation in a graduate program is a continual professional development experience. Students are expected to behave during this time in a manner which is consistent with accepted standards of professional and ethical behavior of the department and of the American Counseling Association. Any deviation from these standards will be reviewed by the department for a recommendation of corrective action, including possible dismissal from this college.

Graduation Requirements

Candidates for the M.S., including the M.S.Ed., and the C.A.S. must satisfactorily complete a protfolio project. The portfolio is both a formative and a comprehensive assessment of the student’s professional growth. A counseling practicum in which the counselor candidate is engaged in the provision of supervised counseling to clients is required of all candidates; this experience must total a minimum of 115 clock hours, of which 47 must be in direct counseling services. Also, a nine-credit, 600 clock hour internship must be completed prior to graduation. Students in the Mental Health Counseling program will complete an additional 500-hour internship, for a total of 1100 internship hours. Internship sites are specific to the program in which the student is enrolled. The practicum and internship schedules do not necessarily correspond with the college calendar. As noted above, generally a full-time commitment is required. A grade of B or better is required in the Counseling Relationships and Skills, pre-practicum, practicum, and internship classes. These courses may be repeated. Approval must be obtained from counseling faculty to enroll in the required practicum and internship courses. The criteria used to evaluate entrance into these courses include performance in the prerequisite courses, responsibility, maturity, and professional behavior.

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS

Credentialing

The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), has conferred accreditation to four program areas in the Counselor Education Department: the 48-credit College and Agency Counseling (M.S.) programs, Student Affairs Professional Practice and Community Counseling, plus the 60-credit Mental Health Counseling (M.S.) and School Counselor (C.A.S) programs. (The Community Counseling program is being phased out; no new students are being admitted.) Counselor candidates at SUNY Plattsburgh are eligible during the last semester of their academic programs to take the National Counselor Examination (NCE) of the National Board for Certified Counselors. Satisfactory completion of this examination and graduation from one of the counseling programs confer certification as a National Certified Counselor. At the time of this publication, many states administer the NCE for licensure purposes. Additional certifications available to graduates after further supervised work include the Master Addictions Counselor, Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and National Certified School Counselor. Completion of the School Counselor program leads to provisional certification as a school counselor in New York State, with permanent certification available upon completion of two years of successful work experience as a school counselor. The requirements for New York State school counselor certification are expected to change soon. The school counseling program is designed to meet any new requirements as they are announced. A graduate of the Mental Health Counseling program has satisfied all of the academic requirements for licensure as a mental health counselor in the state of New York. Graduates may apply for a limited permit as the first step toward mental health licensure.

All committee members and administrators involved in the admissions process consider the following factors:

GRADUATE STUDIES

Students matriculated in the counseling programs who are engaged in the provision of individual or group counseling services, either on campus or off campus, must be supervised by program faculty at all times; this includes obtaining written approval from supervising faculty for any counseling services offered outside of regular practicum or internship coursework. Counseling graduate students are required to carry professional liability insurance through membership in an approved professional association prior to participating in practicum and internship courses.

• Appropriate preparation at the baccalaureate level and teacher certification (including successful completion of LAST, CST and ATS-W).

Monitoring of Student Progress

Upon acceptance into an M.S.Ed. program, the student is assigned to an advisor. Course instructors evaluate students’ academic and professional development throughout the program to ensure that students meet high standards. Students are expected to behave in ways that are consistent with the commitment to professional and ethical behavior, academic excellence, diligence, and dedication to the teaching profession throughout their graduate programs. Faculty will review any deviations and will recommend action or dismissal from the program. If a student’s cumulative GPA falls below a 3.0 or if the student fails to meet standards for professional behavior, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students who exhibit deficiencies in professional behavior and/or teaching performance, regardless of GPA, may be subject to dismissal from the program.

The internship experience is guided by a set of competencies based on the ELCC (AASA, ASCD, NAASSP, and NAEP) Guidelines and is spread over an entire school year, either fall and spring or spring and fall. Interns are expected to participate in school functions that occur before and after college semesters begin and end. Each intern has a mentor, who is an experienced administrator and practitioner who signs a contract agreeing to the requirements which comprise the experience. In addition, an internship supervisor will be assigned during each semester of the internship. This highly experienced school leader will make periodic site visits to meet with the intern and mentor, in order to assess progress and/or needs. The intern is expected to maintain a log of experiences during the internship which serves as evidence of the ability to demonstrate

M.S. IN NATURAL SCIENCE Program Coordinator: Dr. Timothy B. Mihuc 518-564-3038 Email: mihuctb@plattsburgh.edu Hudson 028 The Program

The Master of Science in Natural Science program is designed to provide master’s level science training with three concentration areas available to students: biology, chemistry, and environmental science. Each student must complete 30 total credit hours including either a thesis or the non-thesis option.

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS

For admission to the program, applicants must meet SUNY Plattsburgh’s general requirements for admission to graduate study. (See the Graduate Admission Policies and Procedures section of this catalog.) In addition, an applicant should have a bachelor’s degree in a science discipline, a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 out of a possible 4.0, and a combined score on the general portion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) of at least 1200 or equivalent evidence of academic achievement. Up to nine transfer credits may be accepted from an accredited graduate school. Credits transferred must be part of a proposed program of study approved by the Graduate Advisory Committee, the Department Chair, and the Dean of Arts and Science. All students must have a graduate advisor assigned prior to acceptance into the program. If no advisor can be identified admission will not be granted. Students accepted into the program with low GRE scores or a non-science undergraduate degree may be required to complete background undergraduate coursework in addition to the 30 required graduate credits as a condition of entry into the program. Candidates who are admitted with deficiencies will be expected to demonstrate that they have addressed such deficiencies before the degree is completed.

Graduate Advisory Committee

Each candidate for the M.S. in Natural Science degree must have a Graduate Advisory Committee of three or more members, including a primary advisor from a SUNY Plattsburgh science department and at least one other SUNY Plattsburgh science department faculty member. Up to one committee member can be from off-campus. At least two committee members (one of which must be the chair) must hold a doctorate in a science discipline. The remaining committee member must hold at least a master’s degree. The student’s advisory committee determines the program of study (within the curricular requirements listed below), approves the thesis topic, and holds a final oral defense/ evaluation at the end of the student’s program.

Monitoring of Student Progress

The student must submit a checklist summarizing his/ her progress in teaching (if applicable), research, and coursework to his/her graduate advisor one week prior to the end of each semester. The student’s advisor will comment on and approve the checklist before forwarding it to the Graduate Advisory Committee and the Graduate Program Committee. Semester checklists are required of both full- and part-time students. The academic progress of each student is reviewed once per year by the student’s Graduate Advisory Committee. Research productivity and success at any graduate assistant responsibilities are considered during these reviews as well as progress in completing curricular requirements. If, in a given semester, a student’s cumulative grade point average in courses taken for graduate credit falls below 3.0, or if the research productivity and/or fulfillment of the graduate

assistantship responsibilities are deficient, the student may be placed on academic probation or dismissed from the program, depending on the severity of the student’s deficiencies. Deficiency in graduate assistant responsibilities may lead to removal or non-renewal in the position. Students on academic probation must gain satisfactory standing by the end of the following semester or they may be dismissed from the program. Students placed on academic probation or dropped from the program may appeal the decision to the Natural Science Graduate Program Committee and, ultimately, to the Dean of Arts and Science. A detailed proposal for the research thesis or project must be submitted to the Dean of Arts and Science after approval by the student’s Graduate Advisory Committee by the end of the first semester of enrollment. This proposal, if approved, will serve as a guide for future research or the non-thesis project.

The mission of the three-year, 70 credit hour School Psychology Graduate Program at SUNY Plattsburgh is to prepare scientist practitioners who are competent to provide a full range of school psychological services. (Visit our Web site at www.plattsburgh.edu/academics/ psychology.) Students are prepared to work with diverse clients in the provision of these services to schools, communities, families, and individual children. It is the program’s objective to provide a rigorous academic preparation that includes a wide range of experiences, both scholarly and practical. These activities are designed to foster a strong background in theoretical and applied psychological practice and professionalism, and to enhance opportunities for future employment and/or further graduate education. Since 1970, the School Psychology Graduate Program, housed within the Psychology Department, has offered a state-of-the-art curriculum in keeping with changes and trends in the field. One hundred percent of our graduates obtain and accept employment offers prior to, or shortly after, completion of their year-long internship. Students graduate with a Master of Arts degree in addition to a Certificate of Advanced Study, sometimes referred to as a “specialist’s degree.” Graduates are eligible for New York State Certification in School Psychology and meet the curricular requirements for National Certification in School Psychology. Graduates of the program are also eligible for certification in other states. Because each state maintains its own certification requirements, students wishing to work outside of New York should consult the program director about those requirements. A graduate degree in School Psychology allows for positions within public schools, forensic settings, mental health clinics, crisis centers, and as a faculty member at two-year colleges. The curriculum integrates skill development, theoretical and empirical knowledge, and practicum experiences. Many of the requirements are based on competency attainment. A unique feature of the

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS M.A. thesis should be completed by the end of the third year in the program. Finally, each student must pass the Praxis School Psychology Test.

The Psychology Department maintains the Neuropsychology Clinic and Psychoeducational Services Clinic as training facilities for psychology graduate students. Clients of all ages come from the surrounding communities and the college for assessment and intervention activities. Clinic facilities include rooms for individual assessment, a well stocked library of assessment tools, an office, and a lounge. Observation rooms are equipped with microphones and one-way mirrors for immediate review of the sessions. In addition to the Neuropsychology Clinic and the Psychoeducational Services Clinic, the department has a number of research laboratories focusing on cognitive processes, child behavior, and social psychology. These laboratories currently support research in such areas as human learning and memory, aging, motivation, hyperactivity and impulsivity, neuropsychological assessment, and group processes. A full library of assessment tools as well as instrumentation and equipment to support a variety of research are available to graduate students. The department’s computers are available for statistical analysis, word processing, and online data collection. A direct link to the full range of the college’s computing facilities is also available.

Other Facilities

Graduate students in psychology benefit from other resources on campus, such as the Speech and Hearing Center, the Reading Clinic, the Traumatic Brain Injury Center, and the Alzheimer’s Disease Assistance Center. Often, multidisciplinary approaches to assessment and treatment can be learned through the collaborative efforts of the students and faculties of psychology, literacy education, and communication disorders and sciences. Research opportunities also involve interdisciplinary collaboration.

curriculum is that courses, beginning from the first semester, combine academic learning with practical experience. An important aspect of the training is the full-time internship served in schools during the third year of the program. The faculty and sponsoring professionals work together to provide extensive supervision of the students’ experiences. Students often study on a one-to-one basis with faculty. Collaboration between a student and faculty member on a research project of mutual interest represents the type of relationship that is encouraged. While students gain skills and confidence in providing services, supervision is offered in an informal atmosphere. Diverse interests are encouraged, and all activities are conducted with support and respect.

GRADUATE INFORMATION AND PROGRAMS Admission Procedures

The objective of the admission procedures is to identify and attract students who, through previous course performance or other evidence (e.g., job experience, special undergraduate experience), can demonstrate both a stable interest in and an aptitude for work in school psychology. The department aims for the inclusion of individuals with diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Academic skill is an important, but not exclusive, criterion for acceptance. The decision to admit a student to graduate studies in psychology rests finally with the Dean of Arts and Science. The dean acts upon the recommendation of the Chair of the Department of Psychology, who, in turn, acts upon the recommendation of the Psychology Department Graduate Admissions Committee. The Graduate Admissions Committee considers the following eight factors in making its recommendations: 1. The total application which, in addition to the usual information, should include a brief essay on reasons for applying to this graduate school. The committee judges the written expression as well as the content of the essay. It should be well thought out and presented in good form. 2. The official transcript, including grade point average and evidence of breadth of interests and aptitudes. The minimum acceptable undergraduate grade point average for all applicants to graduate programs at the college is 2.5, but the guideline used by the Psychology Department is a minimum of 3.0. 3. Evidence of superior achievement in courses most closely allied with the applicant’s stated interests. The entering student is expected to have competence at the undergraduate level in experimental psychology and statistical analysis, personality, learning, and development. 4. Evidence of experience in working with clients: job experience, volunteer work, course assignments, tutoring, teaching, camp counseling, or other appropriate experiences. 5. Three letters of recommendation which attest to the academic and professional promise of the applicants. The most helpful letters are those from professors who have worked with the applicants on independent projects and supervisors who are familiar with the professional demands of a school psychologist. The student should advise each prospective reference of his or her plans and request that letters be addressed to the probability of success in school psychology. 6. Graduate Record Examination aptitude scores. Although not required, students who are applying for admission into the School Psychology Program may provide Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores as part of their application. Students may voluntarily submit the GRE scores to provide additional evidence of academic proficiency. 7. The final deadline for submission of application materials for the following fall is February 15. When accepted, applicants must confirm, in writing, their intention to enter the program. A deposit of $100 to secure a place in the program is also required. 186 www.plattsburgh.edu

If these steps are not taken within three weeks of acceptance, it will be assumed that the applicant is not intending to enroll in this program and that a vacancy exists. Selected alternates will then be notified and those confirming their intention to enter the program will be interviewed.

Important Policies

1. Ethical Standards – It is the position of the Department of Psychology that the entire period of a student’s matriculation in the graduate program is a continual professional development experience. Students are expected to behave during this time in a manner which is consistent with accepted standards of professional and ethical behavior of the department and of the American Psychological Association. Any deviation from these standards will be reviewed by the department. 2. Eligibility to Participate in Graduation Ceremonies – To participate in the graduation ceremony at the close of a particular semester, graduate students must either 1) anticipate completion of all degree requirements or 2) be within six credits of completion and have registered for the remaining credits in the following summer or winter session (or have an approved Permission for Off Campus Study form on file) and have secured a letter from their advisor acknowledging the likelihood of completion of both thesis and internship requirements by the end of August for the May commencement or end of January for the December commencement. Certification of completion will be indicated by a note from the chair of the department to the Registrar. 3. Eligibility to take Internship – An M.A. thesis proposal must be approved and the Praxis School Psychology Test successfully passed prior to engaging in the internship.

The program leading to the Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology is designed to serve the educational needs of students seeking a terminal clinical degree as well as those who desire to continue on for an advanced graduate degree. The program at SUNY Plattsburgh is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. (Visit our Web site at www.plattsburgh.edu/ academics/commdisorders.) The speech-language pathology program at Plattsburgh motivates students to probe, in depth, all aspects of human communication disorders, to broaden their clinical skills and to engage in research. While each student, through advisement, can augment the curricula to pursue areas of professional interests, there currently are opportunities within the Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences to specialize in the following career areas: • Speech-Language Pathology (Licensure without Teacher Certification) (Curr: 0898) • Speech-Language Pathology (Licensure and New York State Teacher Certification) (Curr: 0897) The two-year program is tailored to meet the candidate’s individual needs and professional goals. All programs follow the academic and practicum standards designed by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) leading to ASHA certification, licensure in the State of New York (as well as in most other states), and membership in the Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists. The program is registered with the New York State Department of Education for students who desire teacher certification. The exact program of study and the specific time requirements can be determined

only after the student and advisor have had an opportunity to determine academic goals. For students whose academic and/or clinical background is insufficient, a program is available to allow them to make up deficiencies. A two-semester pre-graduate certificate program is available for students with B.A. or B.S. degrees whose academic deficiencies in speech-language pathology are significant. Contact the department chairperson for details.

Admission

Apart from fulfillment of the college’s general admissions criteria and procedures for graduate study, the Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences has the following stipulations: 1. The student is expected to have an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or better (on a 4-point scale) and to have completed the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). 2. At least two of the three letters of recommendation must be from professors. 3. Selected students are expected to participate in a scheduled on-campus interview day during which other evaluative activities take place (e.g., proficiency exam and writing sample). The department’s Graduate Admissions Committee will review each application individually and will make recommendations for each prospective candidate on the basis of an overall evaluation. Preferences for admission will be given to applicants from pre-professional undergraduate programs in speech-language pathology/ communication disorders and sciences. Students from other undergraduate majors will need to complete our two-semester certificate program before seeking admission to our graduate program or other graduate programs in speech-language pathology. See information on the certificate program in the undergraduate portion of this catalog, or the department’s Web page at www.plattsburgh.edu/ academics/commdisorders, or contact the department chairperson for details. Admission to the program is granted only for the fall semester. Non-matriculated students and certificate program students are not allowed to take graduate courses in Communication Disorders and Sciences without permission from instructors and the chairperson.

Academic and Clinical Requirements

Each student must earn a minimum of 50 graduate credits to complete a degree program. Of these credits 40 are within the major professional area of speechlanguage pathology. Of the 8 or 11 required credits of clinical practicum, at least 5 must be completed on campus and 3 or 6 at an off-campus site. The remaining 2 credits are fulfilled by successfully completing the research tool requirements of CDS524 Research Design in Communication Disorders or by having completed an approved equivalent course in research methods. In addition to the requirement that a graduate student maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average to remain

in the program, the department requires that a grade of B or better be earned for each graduate course in the major. Grades below B are not credited toward the degree. If a student receives a clinic grade of C for more than one semester, s/he will be considered for dismissal from the program. The faculty reserves the right to determine a student’s readiness and preparation to undertake an internship. A student may not be permitted to enroll in an internship if the faculty is unable to recommend the student without reservation. By the end of their graduate program, students must have completed a minimum of 400 clock hours of supervised clinical practicum in accordance with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s standards and New York state licensure requirements. At least 325 of these hours must be obtained at the graduate level. These hours must have been obtained in the Speech and Hearing Center and its affiliate sites (Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital and Meadowbrook Healthcare), with at least 50-100 hours obtained in an additional off-campus site. Students must be prepared to travel to their off-campus practicum sites, as the college cannot provide transportation for students. The practicum schedule does not necessarily correspond with the college’s academic calendar. The off-campus practicum is to be full- or part-time as designated by the host site’s program guidelines. Students must apply for and be pre-approved for the off-campus practicum. All graduate clinicians are expected to follow the ethical and professional practice guidelines of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. In addition, graduate clinicians must follow behavioral guidelines of SUNY Plattsburgh and the practicum or internship site. Any deviation from the guidelines will result in possible dismissal from an on-campus practicum, an internship site, the Communication Disorders and Sciences Department, and/or SUNY Plattsburgh. Candidates for the M.A. have the option of completing a thesis. If the student receives approval from the faculty to pursue a thesis, up to three credits for work on the thesis may be applied toward the 50-53 credits required for completion of the degree. A formal thesis defense is required and must be completed in the semester that the degree is to be awarded. Candidates selecting the non-thesis option are required to pass a departmental comprehensive examination before graduating. Completion of the culminating requirements will be determined by a selected faculty committee. Students must take the PRAXIS examination in their last semester of study (their second spring semester) and request that their scores be sent to the Communication Disorders and Sciences Department at SUNY Plattsburgh. For the purpose of this requirement, there is no established minimum criterion score; however, the PRAXIS must be eventually passed for students to be certified by the national association and to be able to practice.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

The State University of New York “To Learn — To Search — To Serve” The 64 geographically dispersed campuses of the

State University of New York (SUNY) bring educational opportunity within commuting distance of virtually all New Yorkers and comprise the nation’s largest comprehensive system of public higher education. When founded in 1948, SUNY consolidated 29 state-operated but unaffiliated institutions whose varied histories of service dated as far back as 1816. SUNY’s impact is felt educationally, culturally and economically the length and breadth of the state. It continues to fulfill its mission by providing access to a high-quality education for hundreds of thousands of individuals.

SUNY — The Place to Go, to Go Places in Life SUNY’s dedication to quality and range of programs

attracts top students from New York state, across the nation, and around the world. With more than 427,000 students from every New York state county, every U.S. state, and more than 160 foreign countries, SUNY includes students who continue to achieve at every educational level. More than 386,000 students are currently pursuing bachelor’s or associate’s degrees while another 40,500 are working toward advanced degrees within the nearly 7,700 courses of study offered by the university. SAT scores of SUNY students continue to rise, averaging 1202 at university centers and 1142 at all state-operated campuses – 11 percent above the national average. Between 1999 and 2004, every SUNY state-operated campus saw gains in average SAT scores.

Engineering and Medicine. Also among the SUNY faculty are winners of the Pulitzer Prize, MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grants” and Grammy, Emmy and Tony awards. SUNY highly values the work the faculty does in the classroom; 63 percent of SUNY full-time faculty teaches 75 percent of total credit hours at the state-operated campuses. SUNY is also continually improving its online learning resources for students who want to take courses from their own home or apartment. Since the SUNY Learning Network’s inception in 1995, annual online course offerings have grown from 8 to more than 3,400. Complete online degree programs have gone from 0 to more than 60, and online course enrollments have risen from 199 to 102,223.

GRADUATION RATES AND DEGREES GRANTED

SUNY graduation rates exceed the national average for all schools and far surpass the national average for public universities. In 2006, the six-year graduation rate for full-time, first-time students was 59.6 percent for SUNY, compared to 45 percent among public universities and 51.5 percent among privates. First-year student retention rates also continue to rise, outpacing the nation. SUNY doctoral campuses retain 88 percent of freshmen, compared with 80 percent nationally; four-year schools retain 81 percent, compared to 74 percent nationally; and community colleges retain 63 percent, compared to 57 percent nationally. SUNY students are also staying and graduating, preparing for advanced study or to enter the work force. Nearly 80,600 degrees were awarded to SUNY students in 2006-07, the largest number of degrees ever. Of these, just over 67,000 were earned by undergraduates and 13,400 by graduate students.

STUDENT DIVERSITY

CAMPUSES

SUNY institutions include everything from worldrenowned community colleges such as the Fashion Institute of Technology, to first-rate graduate schools that include the nation’s top veterinary school. The system’s highly regarded doctoral degree granting universities boast top research programs and attract experts in a variety of fields. SUNY employs more than 81,000 faculty and staff. Among our faculty are Nobel laureates, Dirac and Fields medal winners, National Medal of Science Laureates, and members of the National Academies of Science,

RESEARCH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

SUNY research contributions are helping to solve many of today’s most urgent problems. At the same time, contracts and grants received by University faculty directly benefit the economic development of the regions where they are located. SUNY researchers pioneered nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and the supermarket bar code scanner, introduced timelapse photography of forestry subject, isolated the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, and developed the first implantable heart pacemaker. Other University researchers continue important studies in such wideranging areas as breast cancer, immunology, marine biology, sickle cell anemia, and robotics, and make hundreds of other contributions, inventions, and innovations for the benefit of society. The University’s economic development services programs provide research, training and technical assistance to the state’s business and industrial community through business and industry centers, the New York State Small Business Development Center,

DIRECTORIES

The SUNY student body is as diverse as New York state’s citizens. More than half of SUNY students are women. Minority enrollment is at an all-time high at more than 85,000 students (nearly 20 percent). Approximately 8 percent of SUNY students are Black/ Non-Hispanic, 6.2 percent are Hispanic, 4.5 percent are Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.5 percent Native American. SUNY’s reputation for excellence also draws 15,400 international students from around the world.

For every state dollar received, SUNY generates $8 in total spending in New York state.

ALUMNI

It is also well known around the world that SUNY produces leaders including lawyers, entertainers, teachers and elected officials. Fashion designer Calvin Klein, Actor Billy Crystal, world-renowned soprano Renee Fleming, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, Stanford University president John Hennessey, six members of Congress and 43 New York state legislators are all SUNY alumni. Some other notable alumni include Dawn Fratangelo (Plattsburgh, ’82), NBC News “Dateline”; Tom Clarke (Albany, ’73), President, Nike; Al Roker (Oswego, ’76), weather forecaster, NBC’s “Today Show”; and Scott Kelly (Maritime, ’87), NASA Astronaut/Space Shuttle Commander. As a public university system, SUNY has a special responsibility to make its rich and varied resources accessible to all. By focusing its educational system on the needs of the state, the University becomes a valuable resource for meeting those needs for today and tomorrow. The State University believes efficiencies in instructional delivery and administrative transactions can be achieved while preserving affordable, quality higher education to its students.

Affirmative Action Policy SUNY Plattsburgh, in recognition of its educational mission, its social concern, its responsibility for the personal development of individuals, and its concern for the rights of individuals, established a college policy of Equal Education and Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action. It is the policy of this college to provide equal opportunity in education and employment for all qualified persons; to prohibit illegal discrimination based on age, race, religion, color,

214 www.plattsburgh.edu

national origin, sex, marital or veteran status, or physical or mental handicapping condition; and to promote the full realization of equal education and employment opportunity through a positive and continuing program of affirmative action for the college as a whole and for each constituent unit. It is the intent of the college to comply with the spirit of federal and state regulations relating to the affirmative action obligations toward all protected classes, i.e., veterans and women, not only because the regulations are law, but also because they prescribe morally just actions. Consistent with SUNY Board of Trustees’ policy, the college expects that all judgments about and actions toward students and employees will be based on their qualifications, abilities and performance. Attitudes, practices, and preferences of individuals that are essentially personal in nature, such as private expression or sexual orientation, are unrelated to performance and provide no basis for judgment. This policy governs all college educational and employment policies, practices and actions, including, but not limited to, recruitment, appointment, enrollment, rate of pay or other compensation, advancement, upgrading, promotion, financial aid, demotion, renewal, non-renewal, termination, dismissal, transfer, layoff, leave, training, employees’ benefits, grading and program access. This policy requires each contractor, supplier, union, public agency, or other cooperative agent to support this policy by complying with all applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity laws and regulations. Responsibility and authority for the dissemination and implementation of this policy lies ultimately with the president of the college with assistance from the affirmative action officer and the Affirmative Action Advisory Committee, which shall consist of representatives from the campus faculty, staff and students. Practically, the responsibility and authority to act affirmatively to provide equality of opportunity in education and employment lies with all who are in decision-making positions within the college. It is the intent of the college to commit appropriate resources and to create a supportive atmosphere for the practical responsibility and authority to be exercised.
