Procedure for Non-Compliance

A Faculty Liaison will be assigned to each CCI. A teaching observation and review of the course are parts of the ongoing interaction between a Faculty Liaison and the CCI. If during an observation or during a review of the course content, the Faculty Liaison identifies concerns regarding adherence to the CDM, syllabus, course content, academic rigor, assessment components, and/or instructional issues, the concerns will be addressed, as follows, with the goal of assisting the CCI to correct the concerns.

1. The Faculty Liaison will complete the EICC Observation Form, including recommendations for improvement, and send it to the Department Coordinator or Program Director (DC/PD).
    
2. The DC/PD will assess the severity of the concerns and t he corresponding recommendations. If the severity is modest, a follow-up will be scheduled with the CCI to ensure the recommendations are followed, including the high school administration for the CCI. The DC/PD will sign and file the CCI Observation Form with the appropriate Divisional Dean, who will forward a copy to the Dean of Curriculum and Concurrent Enrollment.
    
3. In the event the concerns are urgent or serious in nature, or in the event of continued non-compliance with recommendations, the DC/PD will alert the Divisional Dean and high school administration for the CCI, sign the CCI Observation Form and indicate a request for formal evaluation.
    
4. The Divisional Dean will contact the High School administrator to coordinate a meeting with the CCI, Divisional Dean, Department Coordinator, High School administrator, and Dean of Curriculum and Concurrent Enrollment to discuss concerns and develop an action plan. The action plan will include a timeline for completion of each milestone. Written documentation of the action plan will be kept in the personnel file in the Concurrent Enrollment Department, and a copy sent to Human Resources (HR) at the college.
    
5. The DC/PD, will follow up with the CCI, either through another meeting or through classroom observation, to determine if the concerns outlined in the action plan have been addressed and resolved. The Department Coordinator may request that the Divisional Dean and/or the Dean of Curriculum and Concurrent Enrollment, and/or high school administration, be involved in this meeting.
    
6. If the terms of the action plan are not adhered to, the Divisional Dean and the DC/PD may determine that the course does not maintain College quality. The Divisional Dean will cancel the course for the subsequent academic semester and the instructor (CCI) will lose their status as a CCI in that discipline. The High School administration will be informed of the College’s decision, the Dean of Curriculum and Concurrent Enrollment and the Divisional Dean will work with the High School to identify another instructor, if appropriate.

NOTE: If an instructor has been approved to offer College Connections courses in more than one discipline, the Faculty Liaison for each discipline will assess adherence to course content. Cancellation of one (1) College Connections course due to noncompliance does not automatically cancel other College Connections courses.
