Using Your Student Handbook
The Student Handbook is desig ned as a reference book or resource to be consulted and used
as needed. Like any other learning tool (dictionary, thesaurus, the Yellow Pag es), some students
will use it frequentl y; othe rs rarely. It is not meant to be read from cover to cover by everyone;
rather, it is designed to have readily available information students might require at any time
on the policies, procedures, services and activities at Iowa Centra
l.
Successful stu dents use a variety of tools to enhance their performance. They know whe re to
look fo r information to make decisions. They le arn what the College expects of them and what
they can expect of the College. The Student Handbook is instrumental in allowing stud ents to
find the answers to their questions and to take charge of t heir education.
We suggest you skim through the Table of Contents to become fami l i a r with the topi c s . When you
have a specific q uest ion, you
ll know where to start. The second half of the handbook consists
of a daily calen dar that you may find helpful to keep track of appointments, assi gnme nts and
othe r impo rtant dates. We hope you find this resource to be helpful. If you are unable to f ind
the infor mation you need, reme mber that Iowa Central faculty and staff are another valuable
resource ready to help—ask someone! If we don’t know the answer, we’ll help you find it.

Academic Planning
A
student enrolling in a standard, semester-length college course can expect to budget two hours of homework eac
h
w
eek for every hour spent in the classroom.
T
ypically, a three-hour semester class, for example, will involve three hours per week of classroom time (sometime
s
r
eferred to as “contact time” with the instructor) and six hours of homework per week for that course. This is often
a
d
rastic change from high school expectations!
A
ttitudes
1
. Concentrate on one thing at a time.
2
. Divide a big assignment into small pieces that can be done one at a time.
3
. Learn to discipline yourself and feel good about it.
4
. Learn to say NO to interruptions when you study.
5
. Learn ways to study smarter, not harder.
6
. Beware of perfection.
7
. Build on successes. Profit from failures.
K
eep in mind...
T
he first step in organization is to survey non-educational time commitments and then plan an education progra
m
c
onsistent with available time.
T
ime Management & Study Techniques for Students
1. Identify your goals, strengths and weaknesses.
2. Identifyyourcampushelp and resourcesto build onyour strengths and work to overcome yourweaknesses.
3. Arrange for texts and required materials before classes meet.
4. Build a study plan, including when and how much you will need to study to meet your goals.
5. Go to EVERY class. Be there early!
6. Sit in the front and keep your mind actively on your learning goals and expectations as outlined by your instructor
.
7. Take good notes.
8. Ask for clarification when concepts are unclear to you.
9. Participate in class discussions.
10. Study with a partner, going over key points and clarifying question areas or points that may appear on exams.
11. Build a study plan for tests.
12. Do not miss quiz or test days.
13. Hand in assignments on time.
14. Set priorities for your day.
15. Schedule study time before class and soon after the lecture.
16.Determine a study area where you can concentrate; where you ONLY study.

F
or this reason, Iowa Central has placed an emphasis on CLASS ATTENDANCE. Instructors record attendance i

W
ebAdvisor.
A
utomatic Grade BookAlerts: Faculty can set thresholds forautomatic attendance and grade alerts in the WebAdviso
r
G
rade Book. Look for those notifications via email. Student advisors will also get copies of those alerts. For example
,
y
ou may get an email when you miss two classes in a row or if your grade falls below 60 percent.
A
dministrative Withdrawal: A student will be administratively withdrawn from a class when the student is absen
t
m
ore than 25 percent of the total scheduled class meetings by the mid-point of the class. Automatic attendanc
e
n
otifications are sentwhen the number of absences exceed 15 percent and then again at 20 percent. School-sponsore
d
a
bsences do count towards these percentages, but the policy for contacting instructors prior to any such absence
s
t
o arrange for missed work in advance is in place to prevent such absences from impacting a course grade. Student
s
s
hould talk to instructors about their absences and work with them to make plans for success before the 25 percen
t
i
s exceeded. Students need to check an instructor’s or program’s attendance policy in the course syllabus, whic

S
tudent-Initiated Withdrawal: If you no longer wish to be enrolled in a class, you are expected to withdraw fro

FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 helps protect the privacy of student education records. The
Act provides for the right to inspect and review education records, the right to seek to amend those records and to
limit disclosure of information from the records. The intent of the legislation is to protect the rights of students and
to ensure the privacy and accuracy of education records. The Act applies to all institutions that are the recipients of
federal a
id administered by the Secretary of Education.
What rights does FERPA afford students with respect to their education records?
- The right to inspect and review their education records within 45 days of the day the college receives a request
for access. Students should submit written requests to the registrar‘s office and identify the record(s) they wish
to inspect. The staff of the office will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place
where t
he records may be inspected. If the requested records are not maintained by the registrar‘s office, the
student will be notified of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
- Therighttorequestanamendmenttothestudent‘seducationrecordsthatthestudentbelievesareinaccurateormisleading.

agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate
educational interest ifthe official needs to reviewan education record in order to fulfill his orherprofe
ssional responsibility.
- The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the college to
comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family
Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave., SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-5920
What is an education record?
An “education record” is any record that is:
1. directly related to a student; and
2. maint
ained by an educational agency or institution, or by a party acting for the agency or institution.
This includes any information recorded in any way including, but not limited to, handwriting, print, computer media,
video or audio tape, film, microfilm, and microfiche.
What is not considered an education record?
- Sole possession records or private notes held bya school officialthat are not accessible or releasedto otherpersonnel;
- law enforcement or campus security
records that are solely for law enforcement purposes and maintained solely
by the law enforcement unit;
- records relating to individuals who are employed by the institution (unless the employment is contingent on their
status as a student);
- records relating to treatment provided by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist; or other recognized professional
and disclosed only to individuals providing treatment; and
- records of an institution that contain informat
ion about an individual obtained only after that person is no longer
a student at that institution.
Who is protected under FERPA?
An “eligible” student under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or who attends a postsecondary institution
(regardless of parental dependency). These rights begin on the day the student begins attending classes. Formerly
enrolled students are also protected under FERPA. Students who have applied but have not attended an institution
and de
ceased students do not come under FERPA guidelines.
When is a student’s consent not required to disclose information?
When the disclosure is:
- to school officials who have legitimate educational interest,
- to federal, state, andlocal authorities involving an audit or evaluation ofcompliance with educational programs,
- in connection with financial aid; this includes Veterans’ benefits,
- to organizations conducting studies for or on behalf of educational instit

Grade and Cumulative Grade Point Average (G.P.A.)
R
egistrar - Ext. 1020
T
he Grade Point Average is determined in the following manner:
1. Allow 4 points for an A; 3 points for a B; 2 points for a C; 1 point for a D; and 0 points for an F.
2. Multiply the number of points equivalent to the letter grade received in each course by the number of credi
t
hours for the course to arrive at the quality points earned in each course.
3. Divide the sum of quality points by the total number of credit hours. The quotient represents the Grade Poin
t
Average for the semester.
T
he Cumulative Grade Point Average is determined in the same manner as the Grade Point Average, except that al
l
o
f the student’s work, not including developmental courses, are used in the computation.

. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Right
s
A
ct of 1964 and/or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexua
l
f
avors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
a
. Submission to that conduct or communication is made a t erm or condition, either explicitly or implicitly, o
f
obtaining or retaining employment or of obtaining the College’s program (academic course) and/or other Colle g
e
sponsored activities;
b
. Submission to or rejection of that conduct or communication by an individual is a factor in decisions affectin
g
that individual’s employment or education; or
c
. That conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonably interfering with a
n
individual’s employment or a student’s abilityto participate in or benefit from a College program (academic course
)
or activity sponsored by the College or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment environment o
r
educational or on-campus living environment.
24
Sexual harassment subverts the mission of the College and threatens the careers, educational experience, and well-
b
eing of students, faculty, and staff. The College will not tolerate sexual harassment, nor will it tolerate unwelcome
d
b
ehavior of a sexual nature toward members of the College community when that behavior creates an intimidatin
g
o
r hostile environment for employment, education, on-campus living, or participation in a College sponsored activity
.
S
exual harassment is especially serious when an instructor harasses a student or a supervisor harasses a subordinate. I
n
s
uch situations, sexual harassment unfairly exploits the power inherent in an instructor’s or supervisor’s position. However
,
w
hile sexualharassment often takes place in situationswherethere is an abuse of a power differential between the person
s
i
nvolved, the College recognizes that sexual harassment is not limited to such situations. Sexual harassment can occu
r
w
hen a student harasses an instructor, when a subordinate harasses a supervisor, or between persons of the same statu
s
a
s students or employees.
S
exual harassment may also include, but is not limited to, conduct described below:
- Gender Harassment is generalized sexist statements and behavior that convey insulting or degrading attitude
s
including acts ofverbal, nonverbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostilitybased on sex or sex-stereotypin
g
or a person’s failure to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity even if those acts do no
t
involve conduct ofa sexual nature. Examples include suggestive or sexually explicit posters, calendars, photographs
,
graffiti, cartoons, e-mail, voicemail, and social media including but not limited to Facebook and twitter; and sexuall
y
explicit jokes or humor focused toward a particular gender.
- Seduc tive Behavior is unwanted, inappropriat e and offensive sexual advances. Examples include repe ate
d
unwanted sexual invitations, insistent requests for dinner, drinks or dates, persistent let ters, phone calls an
d
othe r inv itations .
- Sexual Bribery is solicitation of sexual activity or other sex-linked behavior by promising a reward (a better grade
,
promotion, etc.) for performing the activity or behavior. The proposition may be either overt or subtle.
- Sexual Coercion is sexual activity or other sex-linked behavior bythreat of punishment. Examples include negativ
e
performance evaluations, withholding promotions, threats of termination, or threats of a failing or lower grade.
- Sexual Imposition includes deliberate assaults or molestation, or unwanted physical contact such as patting
,
pinching, “friendly” arms around the shoulder or intentionallybrushing against another person’s body. This includes
any intentional sexual touching, however slight, with any object, by a man or a woman upon a man or a woman
,
that is without consent and/or by force such as intentional contact with the breasts, buttock, groin, or genitals, o
r
touching another person with any of these body parts, or making another touch you or themselves with or on an
y
of these body parts; and any intentional bodily contact in a sexual manner, though not involving contact with
/
of/by breasts, buttocks, groin, genitals, mouth or other orifice.
- Other conduct or behavior of a sexual nature deemed inappropriate by a College employee and/or student.

t
i
ncludes, but is not limited to, the following:
a
. Physical assault;
b
. Direct or implied threats that submission to sexual advances will be a condition of, or that failure to submit t
o
such advances will adversely affect, employment, work status, promotion, grades, letters of recommendation, o

e
. A pattern of unwelcomed conduct involving:
1. Unnecessary touching;
2. Remarks of a sexual nature about a person’s clothing or body;
3. Remarks relating to sexual activity or speculations concerning previous sexual experience; or
4. Stalking another person who reasonably perceives the stalker is pursuing a romantic and/or sexual relationship,

o
feel fear; or
f
. A display of graphic sexual material (not legitimately related to the subject matter of an academic course, i
f
one is involved, or to job requirements) in a context where others are not free to avoid the display because o
f

In determining whether alleged conduct constitutes sexual harassment, the College will consider all avai lable
information and will review the totality of the evidence, including the context in which the alleged incident(s) occurred,
to determine whether it is more probably true than not that the harassment in violation of this policy occurred.
Although repeated incidents generally create a stronger claim of sexual harassment, a single serious incident can be
sufficient. Determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Expression that constitutes a protected exercise of
an individual’s free speech rights under the First and Fourteenth
Amendments to the United States Constitution shall not be deemed a violation of this policy.
Isolated behavior of the kind described above that does not rise to the level of sexual harassment but that, if repeated,
could rise to that level, demonstrates insensitivity that may warrant remedial measures. Academic or administrative
personnel who become aware of such behavior in the College environment shou
ld counsel those who have engaged
in the behavior. Such counsel should include a clear statement that the behavior is not acceptable and should cease,
information about the potential consequences if such behavior persists, and a recommendation, as appropriate, to
undertake an educational program designed to help the person(s) understand the harm caused by the behavior.
6. Courses of Action:
a. Students who feel that they have been the subjects of such harassment should advise th e Vice P resident
of Enrollment Management and Student Development or the College’s Director, H uman Resources/Equal
Employment Opportunity (EEO) Coordinator.
b. Staff members should advise one of the following: their immediate supervisor, the appropriate Vice President, or
the College’s Director, Human Resources/EEO Coordinator.
c. When the College is informed or made aware of a possible harassment situation, an investigation will be conducted
as desc
ribed in the procedure for a Formal Complaint in this policy.
7. Sexual Violence: Sexual violence is prohibit ed and as specifically addressed in the Violence Ag ainst Women
Reauthorization Act of 2013, Section 304, Campus Sexual Violence Act provisions amending Section 485(f) of the

Sexual violence refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a p
erson’s consent or where a person is incapable
of giving consent due to the victim’s use of drugs or alcohol or due to an intellectual or other disability. A number of
different acts fall into the category of sexual violence, including rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating

Definitions:
- Consent: Clear, knowing and voluntary participation in sexual conduct by person of the age and intell ectual
capacity to give lawful consent, and may be given by words or actions, as long as words or actions create mutually
understandable clear permission regarding willingness to engage in (and the conditions of) the sexual activity.
Consent must be active, not passive. Silence, in and of itself, cannot be interpreted as consent. Lack of protest
or resistance does not constitute consent. Consent to any one form of sexual activity cannot be
automatically
implied to be consent to any other form of sexual activity. Previous relationships or prior consent cannot imply
consent to future sexual acts. Persons who want to engage in the sexual activity are responsible for obtaining
consent and the clearly giving of consent. Consent should never be assumed.
Iowa Code provides that the following persons are unable to give consent:
- Persons who are asleep or unconscious (Iowa Code Section 709.1A);
- Persons who are in
capacitated due to the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication (Iowa Code Section 709.1A);
- Persons who are unable to communicate consent due to a mental or physical condition (Iowa Code Section
709.1A); or
- Generally, minors under the age of 16 (Iowa Code Section 709.4).
- Domestic Violence: Includes felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or former spouse
or intimate partner of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in commo
n, by a person who
is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse or intimate partner, by a person similarly
situated to a spouse of the victim, or by any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from
that person’s acts under the domestic or family violence laws of Iowa.
- Dating Violence: Violence committed by a person:
- Who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim; and
- Where the existence of
such a relationship is determinedbased on a consideration ofthe following factors:
- The length of the relationship,
- The type of relationship.
- The frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship; and
- May occur any time even it first and only date.
- Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse: Any sexual intercourse however slight, with any object, by a man or woman
upon a man or a woman, which is without consent and/or by force. Intercourse includes vaginal penetration
26
by a penis, object, tongue or finger, anal penetration by a penis, object, tongue, or finger, and oral copulation
(mouth to genital contact or genital to mouth contact), no matter how slight the penetration or contact.
- Sexual Assault: Subjecting another person to sexual touching that is unwanted.
- Stalking: Engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to:
- Fear for his or her safety or the safety of others; or o Suffer substantial emotional distress.
- Sexual Exploitation: Occurs when a person takes non-consensual and abusive se
xual advantage of another for his
or her own advantage or benefit, or to benefit or advantage anyone other than the one being exploited, and that
behavior does not otherwise fall in one of other definitions sexual misconduct offenses, such as, but not limited
to, non-consensual video or audio-taping of sexual activity, engaging in voyeurism, prostituting another person,
engaging in indecent exposure, or knowingly transmitting a STI or HIV to another person.
- Substanti
al Threat: reported conduct that by its nature causes a person to reasonably believe that a high risk exist
that violent acts and physical harm against another person or persons may occur.
Racial, religious, national origin, marital status, socioeconomic status, military service, age, and disability harassment:
Physical or verbal conduct relating to an individual’s race, color, creed, religion, nation al ori gin, m arital status,
socioeconomic status, military ser
vice, age, and/or disability when the conduct:
a. Has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or academic environment; or
b. Has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work or ac ademic
performance; or
c. Otherwise unlawfully and adversely effects an individual’s employment or ability to participate in or benefits from
the College’s programs (academic courses) and/or College s
ponsored activities.
The use of alcohol and/or drugs will not excuse any behavior that violates this policy.
8. Reporting Sexual Violence: Iowa Central Community College strongly encourages all members of the College
community to report incidents of sexual violence to any of the following resources:
a. In the event of an immediate threat, danger, or injury, the reporting person should contact the local authorities by

Confidentiality: Certain College officials have a duty to report sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and
stalking for federal statistical reporting purposes (such as pursuant to the Clery Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1092). All personally
identifiable information is kept confidential, but statistic
al information must be reported to College Campus Security
regarding the type of incident, date, and the location of the incident (using Clery Act location categories and crime
category as described in the College’s Annual Campus Security Report).
As is a function of any educational institution, Iowa Central Community College must balance the needs of the
individual student or the individual employee with the obligation to strive to protect the safety and well-being of
the
college community at large. Therefore, depending on the seriousness of the reported incident, further action may be
necessary, including a campus security alert concerning a reported incident confirmed to pose a substantial threat
to members at large of the campus community. The College will make every effort to ensure that a victim or the
reporting person’s name and other identifying information is not disclosed, while still providing enough information
for comm
unity members to make safety decisions in light of the danger.

SUCCESS SKILLS
plan for success
{
1
}
Organization – Getting organized is the first step to success.
Remember that you are responsible for knowing about and
completing your assignments and special projects.
Make sure you have a datebook to write down your
homework, extracurricular activities, community activities,
and other responsibilities.
Make sure you have all the materials you need when you go
to class and when you do your homework.
{
2
}
Time Management – Managing time wisely will help ensure that
you have the opportunity to do both the things you need to do and
the things you want to do.
Plan a definite time to do your homework.
Plan time for extracurricular and social activities, as well as home responsibilities.
Commit yourself to your time plan, but be flexible. For example, if something
happens that makes it impossible for you to do homework during the regularly
scheduled time, plan an alternate time to do the homework.
{
3
}
Set Priorities – If you have lots to do, it is important to set priorities.
Rank each task in 1, 2, 3 order. Start with #1 – the most important task – and
continue on down the list.
When doing homework, start with the subject in which you need the most
improvement.
Check off finished tasks.
If you frequently find that you cannot finish all the tasks on your list, you may
need to prioritize your optional activities and eliminate some that are low on your
priority list.
{
4
}
Set Goals Just wishing to get better grades or to excel in a sport accomplishes
nothing. You need a plan of action to achieve your goals. Setting goals will result
in better grades and higher self-esteem. Best of all, setting goals will make you feel
in control of your life. Some hints for setting goals:
Be specific. List specific goals for each academic subject. Also list goals for other
school and home activities.
Set time limits. Your goals can be both short-term (within a month or on the
next quiz or test) and long-term (within the semester or within the school year).
Set realistic goals. For example, if math has always been difficult for you, dont
aim for an “A” in Algebra at the beginning of the year. If you usually get a “C-”
in math, you may want to begin by setting a short-term goal of “C+” or “B-”.
Reaching that first short-term goal will give you the confidence to raise your
goal for the next test or the next grading period.
Draw up a step-by-step plan of action for reaching each goal; then go for it!
Write your goals down, and put them in several places (your bedroom door, your
datebook, your bulletin board) so you will see them several times a day.
Share your goals with others – your parents, roommates, instructors, classmates,
etc. They can give you encouragement.
Keep at it! Be determined, and keep a positive attitude. Visualize yourself achieving
your goals.
Reward yourself when you reach a goal.
PLAN FOR SUCCESS
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DON’T BECOME SUCCESSFUL BY LUCK. THEIR SUCCESS IS
THE RESULT OF SETTING GOALS AND WORKING TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. IN
OTHER WORDS, SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE PLAN TO SUCCEED. YOU, TOO, CAN PLAN
TO SUCCEED. DON’T PROCRASTINATE. GOOD INTENTIONS WILL NOT HELP YOU
SUCCEED. START PLANNING FOR SUCCESS TODAY!
