Faculty members teaching a new course for the first time prepare a syllabus and submit it to the Consortium for approval at least six months in advance of the start date for the course. For all other courses, faculty prepare a syllabus and submit it to the Consortium at least two weeks prior to the first day of class. The syllabus includes course topics, assignments, quiz, exam, and paper due dates, faculty phone office hours, the name and telephone numbers of the Consortium and the course liaison, and grading, attendance, late assignment and missed exam policies. Faculty are required to announce and maintain an attendance policy, and keep attendance records throughout the semester. Faculty also provide the Consortium staff with a class attendance list for the first, second, third and fourth classes immediately following each of these classes.
Faculty teach each class on the day scheduled.
Faculty consult Consortium staff if a class must be rescheduled. Special grade reporting arrangements may be necessary in the case of graduating seniors. Faculty and Consortium staff work together to accommodate seniors with special needs. Faculty administer the course evaluation as specified by Consortium staff. Faculty work with the course liaison assigned by the Consortium as appropriate and required.
