Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 prohibits any person in the United States from being discriminated against on the basis of sex in seeking access to any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The U.S. Department of Education, which enforces Title IX, has long defined the meaning of Title IX’s prohibition on sex discrimination broadly to include various forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence that interfere with a student’s ability to equally access our educational programs and opportunities.
In recent years, “Title IX” cases have become a short-hand for any campus disciplinary process involving sex discrimination, including those arising from sexual harassment and sexual assault. But under the Final Rule, SUNY Empire must narrow both the geographic scope of its authority to act under Title IX and the types of “sexual harassment” that it must subject to its Title IX investigation and adjudication process. Only incidents falling within the Final Rule’s definition of sexual harassment will be investigated and, if appropriate, brought to a live hearing through the Title IX Grievance Policy defined below.
SUNY Empire remains committed to addressing any violations of its policies, even those not meeting the narrow standards defined under the Title IX Final Rule.
Specifically, our campus has a Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Policy that addresses the types of sex-based offenses constituting a violation of campus policy and the procedures for investigation and adjudicating those sex-based offenses.
To the extent that alleged misconduct falls outside the Title IX Grievance Policy, or misconduct falling outside the Title IX Grievance Policy is discovered in the course of investigating covered Title IX misconduct, the institution retains authority to investigate and adjudicate the allegations under the policies and procedures defined within the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Policy through a separate grievance proceeding described in the Discrimination Complaint Procedures and Student Conduct Policy and Procedures.
The elements established in the Title IX Grievance Policy under the Final Rule have no effect and are not transferable to any other policy of the College for any violation of the Code of Conduct, employment policies, or any civil rights violation except as narrowly defined in this Policy. This Policy does not set a precedent for other policies or processes of the College and may not be cited for or against any right or aspect of any other policy or process.
Our existing Title IX office and reporting structure remains in place. What has changed is the way our Title IX office will handle different types of reports arising from sexual misconduct, as detailed in full throughout Section 2. ... MORE

Empire State College believes that the student's individual purposes, interests, plans and abilities must be taken clearly into account as learning contracts and degree programs are planned and implemented. This belief provides the basic rationale for the college's primary mode of study, the individualized learning contract. The college also recognizes that much significant learning occurs through group interaction and that students should be encouraged to enrich and enlarge their individual efforts through participation in courses at other colleges and universities, in workshops and seminars offered by employers, professional associations, community organizations, cultural institutions and other organizations. In addition, the college sponsors study groups, which allow students to share insights gathered from readings, writings and field experiences with fellow students and others.
At Empire State College, group learning experiences are intended for the development of outcomes and competencies that are enhanced by group participation and interaction during the learning process. Study groups provide an opportunity to increase students' individual competencies and to see one another as important learning resources. The overarching purpose of study in a group is to facilitate the development of skills and competencies for the individual student not accomplished as effectively or appropriately in a one-to-one setting. Students are encouraged to take the initiative in organizing study groups.
Study groups also provide an important opportunity for faculty development by giving faculty a forum to develop or experiment with new areas of mentoring expertise alone or in concert with other mentors, to experiment with multidisciplinary approaches to a topic, to learn more about different student learning styles and to provide variation in teaching style from mentored independent study. ... MORE
This policy establishes principles that guide the design of effective learning contracts, specifies the content of learning contracts, details the relationship of learning contracts to other documents such as the course information document in the college catalog, and explains the process for faculty and college review of learning contracts.
SUNY Empire State College is committed to the following principles:
the purpose and needs of students are at the center of effective learning contracts
learning occurs in varied ways, places, and modes
learning preferences may differ by individual students.
Undergraduate students at SUNY Empire State College pursue their educations through a series of learning contracts. Well-designed learning contracts lay the foundation for student success by aligning learning outcomes and activities, allowing for timely and meaningful formative assessment, and identifying specific methods and criteria for evaluation. Faculty guide and encourage students to develop self-assessment skills by engaging with them throughout the length of the learning contract. ... MORE

Guiding Principles and Their Implications for Pre-Structured Programs
Throughout its history, the College has offered programs that vary along a continuum from highly individualized to highly pre-structured (Cf. 1989 self-study). Programs are considered "pre-structured" when significant academic decisions are made in the generic planning of the program. Pre-structured programs may present students with a fixed curriculum or a required set of core studies, may limit choices for degree program components to pre-structured courses, or may serve students whose choices of learning contract components are circumscribed by cross-registration or other inter-institutional agreements. Pre-structured programs fulfill the College’s mission to provide access to educational alternatives as do individualized programs. As this point is sometimes not well understood, proposals for such programs should articulate the relation to the College’s mission and core values
In individualized programs, the collective judgment of the faculty is brought to bear on a program when the center assessment committee conducts its review. In pre-structured programs, key academic decisions are made outside the individual planning context. The procedures for review of pre-structured curricula will assure that academic review occurs at a time point when revisions to the program are still possible.
The College has a strong tradition of local control of academic matters by mentors and centers. We have never had a traditional curriculum committee and center academic responsibility was further strengthened with the decision to move final academic program approval from OPRA to centers. In term programs such as CDL and the Van Arsdale School apprentice program, curriculum development and program approval have long been the responsibility of center faculty. Similar local responsibility is envisioned in these procedures for new pre-structured programs.
The College also recognizes the need to draw on appropriate expertise with respect both to academic substance and standards and to titling and other matters of policy and external regulation. Therefore consultation with appropriate area of study faculty and with OAA/OPRA must occur during program development.
The sharing of information about program development serves several important College purposes, among them stimulating further program development and maintaining a sense of community and trust within the College. The development of new programs, however, may involve extensive collaboration, negotiation and consultation during which public discussion may be inappropriate. The timing of review, approval and information sharing about new programs would need to take these processes into account.
Pre-structured programs should incorporate means to assure program quality.
Like all institutions of higher learning, ESC is increasingly pressed to demonstrate student learning outcomes. There has been increased activity in outcomes assessment within the College with particular attention given to the individualized programs of regional centers and units. Developers of new pre-structured programs are strongly urged to explicitly state academic objectives and expected learning outcomes and to identify means to assess entry and exit levels of students’ skills and knowledge. Building in outcomes assessment from the outset can contribute to the quality of a new program and also generate approaches with potential application elsewhere in the College.

Undergraduate students at Empire State College develop individually designed degree program proposals, with guidance from their mentors. Each student's degree program proposal and portfolio must be approved by a center faculty assessment committee as well as by the Office of College-wide Academic Review (OCAR).

This document presents the college's policy and procedures for review and approval of students' individual degree program proposals and portfolios.

This policy was created to establish guidelines for the provision of specific benefits to be given to eligible employees, members or students of corporate and community partner organizations. The policy addresses financial, operational and procedural requirements associated with each specified benefit.
The revision of this policy was implemented so that the partnership benefits would aid in attracting new students to the College and also encourage students to return to their previously started studies at SUNY Empire. In the original policy, the partnership benefits were available to new, first-term enrollments in a matriculated program. The new policy broadens the benefits to returning and current students in a matriculated program. Given that SUNY Empire students often need to take a break from their studies, this policy change to encourage students to reenroll with SUNY Empire is aligned with the needs of our student population. ...

The purpose of this statement is to set forth SUNY Empire State College's procedures on graduations and graduate recognition celebrations, with specific reference to the planning of them. These ceremonies are public events and are official functions of the College. As such, it must always be understood that the College be represented at its best. Ultimately, the Dean is responsible for the event itself.All centers hold a graduation each year. With the approval of the Center or School Dean, a unit may hold its own graduate recognition celebration. Deans determine names of those expected to be able to participate based on the procedures related to graduation clearance (see related academic procedures, graduation clearance.) Broad responsibility for planning the event rests with the Center Dean and the local alumni/student association working in close cooperation with the Office of Alumni and Student Relations.Graduations are vitally important to the College's mission. They bring people together and create a sense of unity and collective accomplishment. This is of significance in an institution where the educational process is highly individualized. The graduation creates an official public expression of achievement. For the degree candidates, it is a time to experience the larger College, to meet other candidates, faculty and administration. It is a key time to remind degree candidates of their sense of belonging to the College as they join the alumni constituency. Degree candidates, from the entire center including graduate students, are invited to the event. The President, Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost, or Cabinet member are authorized to confer degrees formally at such occasions. All graduating students are invited, and strongly encouraged to wear academic robes for the graduation. All members of the platform party will wear full academic regalia, as well.Unit Graduate Recognition Celebrations are also important, although less formal and more individualized. These events allow degree candidates to be recognized in their local communities. All degree candidates from the unit shall be invited to the event. No formal conferral of degrees occurs at these occasions, which are celebratory rather than official. ... MORE

There is an increasing need for individuals who can help others both learn new things and apply what they know in various settings. Students who choose to design a degree program in educational studies have careers in diverse settings, including training, teaching in certain settings or contexts, researching, and policymaking. Potential concentrations include, but are not limited to, early childhood studies, educational studies, educational technology, community and family education, and adult learning.
Students in Educational Studies will examine the processes involved in teaching and learning through coursework in topics such as theories of development and learning. Students will also be exposed to practical applications such as curriculum design and technology in the classroom. Through the examination of current issues, innovations, and research, students will build a foundation of historical, philosophical, sociological, multicultural, and gender perspectives in relation to education.
Note: A degree in Educational Studies from Empire State College does not directly lead to NYS teacher certification. Students will be asked to sign a teacher certification disclaimer in acknowledgement that they understand we do not offer certification. Students interested in obtaining teacher certification should consult the New York State Education Department for specific requirements and share these requirements with their primary mentor. Students planning to pursue certification after completing their Empire State College undergraduate degree should consult with the college through which they plan to pursue certification. ... MORE

The proposed policy creates a separate and appropriately named policy on transcripts that subsumes information currently embedded in the undergraduate grading policy. The proposed policy puts the college into compliance with Section 52.2(e)(6) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, which states, "The institution shall maintain for each student a permanent, complete, accurate and up-to-date transcript of student achievement at the institution. This document will be the official, cumulative record of the student's cumulative achievement." The college had been granted an exemption to this regulation but the exemption has been revoked. As a result, we can no longer present transcripts that record only successfully-completed study. The transcript must document all study attempted, regardless of grade/outcome.The policy also recognizes new demands and opportunities in the areas of prior learning assessment and competency-based degree programs in which students meet degree requirements through the direct assessment of competencies. The proposed policy enables the college to provide a transcript of individualized prior learning assessments prior to degree program concurrence; since the introduction of the iPLA fee, students have asked for a transcript at the time that they undergo the assessment. It also supports the college's efforts to become more recognized as a leader in prior learning assessment through such activities as SUNY REAL. The proposal also specifies that the college provides a transcript of credit assessed and awarded by sources external to Empire State College only in the context of an approved degree program. ...

Many students need short, focused educational programs for professional development, career advancement, re-tooling, or personal interest. Certificate programs may serve as stepping-stones for students who later move into a degree program or as supporting courses for another higher education partner. A certificate program is a focused group of studies or courses supporting learning objectives that meet the needs of a particular audience or profession. ... MORE

Academic administrators not only have responsibility for the academic programs and procedures in the institution but have as well a closeness to academic operations and a desire to remain current in their academic discipline or their area of administrative responsibility. Academic administrators work with faculty members and scholarship is expected of them as it is of mentors.

This policy establishes formative assessment of student work by an instructor of a course or study as a principle that drives educational activity and achievement at Empire State College and allows for summative evaluation, or grading, of that achievement.This policy defines the possible letter grades that may be assigned for undergraduate work, as well as their meanings and consequences in terms of an undergraduate student’s GPA, transcript, and academic progress and standing.Learning and the assessment of student learning, as shown through the assignment of grades based on the evaluation of required student work, are central to academic integrity. The assignment of grades based on the evaluation of student work is at the heart of an institution’s academic integrity. Grades should reflect levels of student achievement on student learning outcomes and standards presented to students at the beginning of a course in a learning contract or syllabus. Because only the instructor of record is placed to judge a student’s work against the outcomes, activities, and evaluative criteria of that contract, in accordance with the SUNY Faculty Senate’s 2013 Memo to Presidents on Grading, this policy grants authority and responsibility for assigning grades to only the instructor of record in a study or course, within the context of institutional policies and procedures and consistent with the academic freedom of institutions of higher education to set standards. In rare cases in which that instructor becomes unavailable, the policy provides for another qualified faculty member to assign a grade.This policy also provides an option, the administrative withdrawal (ZW), for instructors to use in cases where there was insufficient academic attendance on the part of the student to allow the instructor to generate any other grade, and defines the consequences of such grades for an undergraduate student’s GPA, academic progress, and transcript. ...

This policy is to facilitate the appropriate and acceptable use of SUNY Empire State College print resources by college employees (full- and part-time) and authorized users. The college print objectives are to reduce cost, energy, waste, ink, and paper, and to simplify and standardize the printer fleet (both single-function and multi-function printers), as well as secure and optimize the print environment with a focus on efficiency.
