4 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: PROGRAM MISSION & GOALS The Radiography Program prepares the student, through academic and clinical studies, for a challenging and rewarding career as a radiographer. This twenty-two (22) month continuous program includes practical experience in local hospitals, clinic, and imaging centers for students to develop competence in radiographic procedures. Upon graduation the student is eligible to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examination and will also be eligible to apply for a State of Florida Radiograph License. The Joint Review Committee on Education (JRCERT) accredits the Radiography Program which is recognized by the United Sates Department of Education. The Program curriculum contains suggested course content material from the American Society of Radiologic Technology (ASRT), the JRCERT, and the ARRT. MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Radiography Program at Hillsborough Community College is to prepare students to be competent, professional, entry-level radiographers. The program empowers students to excel and succeed in the profession by providing a strong foundation as a core for life-long learning. GOALS: 1. Students will be able to demonstrate clinical competence. 2. Students will effectively demonstrate appropriate communication skills. 3. Students will use critical thinking and problem solving skills. 4. Students will conduct themselves in a manner promoting professionalism. 4

5 PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY: Radiography is an area of medicine which involves the use of ionizing radiation to produce radiographs. Radiography is a diagnostic tool that is both an art and a science. Art and science must be effectively combined to produce a diagnostic image of the patient for interpretation by a physician for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and illnesses. While enrolled in the Radiography Program, students receive instruction through classroom lecture, laboratory exercises as well as practical experience at clinical education settings under direct supervision of qualified radiographers. The curriculum followed in the Radiography Program is designed and adopted by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT). Upon Radiography Program completion, students are prepared to enter the dynamic and diverse field of radiography. Some students may choose to pursue advanced imaging modalities such as CT or MRI at this time. The program is dedicated to deliver education of the highest standards which will facilitate professional growth and life-long learners in this ever-changing health care field. 5

Purpose This procedure establishes guidelines by which a student can dispute the process in which a grade was determined, if the student believes that the grade has been awarded in error or if the student believes that the grade was prejudicially or capriciously awarded. The college acknowledges that grade policies are the purview of the faculty and that faculty members who have graded objectively and subjectively based on their professional expertise and who have followed the grade policies published in their syllabi have not awarded grades in a capricious or discriminatory manner. 11

12 Procedure 1. Contact with Faculty A. Day One through Day Ten Within ten working days after the beginning of the term that immediately follows the term in which the grade was awarded, the student should attempt to meet with the faculty member first to discuss the awarding of the grade and to discuss his or her assertion that the grade awarded by the faculty member was incorrect. If the faculty member is not teaching during the following term, the following timelines apply: (1) Full-time faculty members: The student should meet with the faculty member within ten working days of the next term in which the faculty member has assigned load responsibilities at the college (for instance, a spring term grade would be discussed during the first ten working days of the next fall term if the instructor has no load responsibilities for the summer term). (2) Adjunct faculty members: The student should attempt to contact the faculty member during the first ten working days of the term that immediately follows the term in which the grade was awarded. B. Day 11 through Day 20 (1) Full-time faculty members: A student who has not been able to begin the process of addressing a grade within the above timeline may file a written appeal to the faculty member's immediate supervising dean for an adjusted timeline to address the grade in question. The dean will provide a written response to the student and the faculty member within ten working days of receiving the appeal. (2) Part-time faculty members: If the student cannot contact the faculty member within the ten days specified in Section 1.B, then by Working Day 15, the student must contact the instructor's immediate supervising dean and proceed to step two in the process. 2. Contact with the Dean A. Pre-Grievance (1) By Day 20 In the event that contact with the faculty does not resolve the student's complaint about the grading process, then within 20 working days of the term specified in Section 1, the student must meet with the faculty member's immediate supervising dean to present data to support his or her complaint. (2) Within Five Days of Contact with Dean Within five working days of the student's contact with the dean, the dean will assign a tenured counselor to inform and advise the student about the grievance process. The student is responsible for contacting the dean's office to determine which counselor has been assigned to work with the student. (3) Within Five Days of Assignment of Counselor The student must meet with the counselor within the next five working days. The student is responsible for meeting with the counselor during the allotted time period. If the student wishes to pursue the grievance, the counselor will provide the student with the Academic Grievance Form, and the counselor will inform the student that the student is responsible for proving that the instructor graded in a capricious or discriminatory manner. 12

13 (4) Within Three Days of Meeting with Counselor The student must file the form in the aggrieved faculty member's immediate supervising dean's office within three working days after meeting with the counselor. B. Grievance (1) Within Ten Days of Receipt of Grievance Within ten working days of receiving the Academic Grievance Form, the dean will review the grievance, talk with the faculty member, read the syllabus, review the grades earned during the course, and determine whether or not the grade has been tallied based on the instructor's syllabus criteria. If the grade has been determined on this basis, the dean will notify the student and the faculty member in writing of the decision. If not, the dean will request in writing that the faculty member re-evaluate the grade, using the criteria as outlined in the faculty member's own syllabus, and submit a change of grade form. If the aggrieved faculty member is an adjunct instructor whom the dean cannot manage to contact, then the dean will assign a tenured program manager or a tenured full-time faculty member in the discipline to assist in the grade process review. If the grade was awarded correctly, the dean will inform the student in writing. If the grade awarded was faculty member in writing of the decision. If not, the dean will request in writing that the faculty member reevaluate the grade, using the criteria as outlined in the faculty member's own syllabus, and submit a change of grade form. If the aggrieved faculty member is an adjunct instructor whom the dean cannot manage to contact, then the dean will assign a tenured program manager or a tenured full-time faculty member in the discipline to assist in the grade process review. If the grade was awarded correctly, the dean will inform the student in writing. If the grade awarded was not based on the adjunct instructor's syllabus criteria, the dean and the tenured faculty member will re-evaluate the grade to determine the correct grade to award. The dean will then request that the program manager or faculty member submit a change-of-grade form, which will then be submitted to the campus president with an accompanying memo of explanation. The campus president will signify agreement by signing the change-of-grade form and sending it to Admissions and Records for processing. Both the form and the memo of explanation will be kept in the student's file. If the campus president determines that the grade was awarded correctly, then the student and the dean will be notified in writing. (2) Within Five Days of Receipt of Dean s Decision The faculty member or the student may appeal the dean s decision to the campus president within five working days of receiving the written notification from the dean. 3. Contact with the Campus President A. Within Ten Days of Receipt of Appeal Within ten working days of receiving a written request to appeal the dean's decision from either the student or the faculty member, the campus president will review the grievance, talk with the faculty member, read the syllabus, review the grades earned during the course, and determine whether or not the grade has been tallied based on the instructor's syllabus criteria. If the grade has been determined on this basis, the campus president will notify 13

14 the student and the faculty member in writing of the decision. If not, the campus president will request in writing that the faculty member re-evaluate the grade, using the criteria as outlined in the faculty member's own syllabus, and submit a change of grade form. B. Within Five Days of Receipt of Campus President s Decision The faculty member or the student may appeal this decision to the Vice President of Academic Affairs within five working days of receiving the written notification from the campus president. 4. Contact with the Vice President of Academic Affairs Within Ten Days of Receipt of Appeal The Vice President of Academic Affairs will review the process and recommendations made. Within ten working days of receiving the written request to appeal the campus president's decision, the vice president will notify the student, the campus president, and the faculty member in writing of the resolution to the grievance. The decision of the Vice President of Academic Affairs to the appeal of the campus president's decision is final and not subject to appeal.

Purpose This procedure establishes procedural guidelines for students at Hillsborough Community College to follow for having a grievance heard and acted on in a fair and equitable manner. Procedure Hillsborough Community College recognizes the meaningful value and importance of full discussion in resolving misunderstandings and preserving good relations between the students and the College. This procedure will better ensure that complaints receive full consideration, with an emphasis on resolving the problem at the lowest level, with the individual with whom the dispute occurred. However, if a problem or condition exists, the student should bring this to the attention of the appropriate person in the proper manner. Students at the College are entitled to fair and equitable treatment and an accessible procedure for expressing dissatisfaction and communication with the administration to reconcile any Collegerelated problems. Retaliation for the exercise of these rights is forbidden. Where informal methods are unsuccessful, the College recognizes that certain problems are best settled by a grievance procedure. If a problem is included within the definition of a grievance, the purpose of this procedure is to settle the grievance promptly and within the time limitations prescribed below. However, a student's problem may be referred to another procedure if the dissatisfaction or problem is not included in a grievance. 14

15 1. DEFINITIONS - the following definitions will apply to this procedure: A. Grievance - a dispute involving a non-academic issue with an employee of the College or with the College, which may include the violation of an administrative rule or procedure. A grievance will not involve administrative decisions regarding the operation of the College, such as but not limited to the scheduling of classes or the location of a classroom(s). B. Grievant - a student who initiates a grievance as defined above. (If more than one student has the same or a similar grievance, each student will be required to file a grievance.) C. Respondent - the specific individual(s) responsible for causing or implementing the matter that gives rise to the dispute. The respondent may be a member of the faculty or other College employee against whom a grievance is filed. D. Student/Staff Committee - the committee will include two (2) College employees appointed by the Campus President and two (2) students appointed by the campus Student Government. The Campus President will also appoint an administrator to be the chairperson of the committee. E. Student Rights Representative - each campus Student Government will select a student to be the Student Rights Representative. 2. GRIEVANCE GUIDELINES - the following guidelines will apply to this procedure for student grievances: A. A grievance may only be filed by the affected student who is solely responsible for initiating this grievance. B. The time limitations are necessary to provide a timely resolution of the grievance. "School days" shall exclude Saturdays, Sundays and approved holidays. C. If the student fails to adhere to the time limitations, the grievant will be deemed to have waived his/her grievance. The Dean of Student Services will terminate the grievance and notify the grievant and respondent accordingly. D. If the respondent fails to adhere to the time limitations, the respondent will be deemed to have waived his/her right to respond during that time or step of the grievance and the grievance will move to the next step. E. The Dean of Student Services may authorize an extension of time following receipt of a written request. The Dean of Student Services will notify the grievant and respondent accordingly. F. If the Dean of Student Services is named as a respondent in a grievance, the Campus President will name a designee for the Dean of Student Services for the procedural steps outlined in this procedure. In addition, to better ensure that the grievance is handled in a timely manner in the event the Dean of Student Services is unavailable, the responsibilities outlined in this procedure will be assigned to a designated employee by the Campus President. G. This is not the appropriate procedure for a grievance involving discrimination or sexual harassment. The student must contact the Dean of Student Services or the Office of Equity for additional information, or refer to the appropriate administrative rules or procedures which are available at the office of the Campus President, an administrator's office or in the libraries. H. A student may not grieve an executive discretionary decision by College personnel regarding the operation of the College or the management of employees and students as permitted by the rules of the State Board of Education and the laws of the state of Florida. 15

16 I. The College will work with students to resolve problems. A student will not be penalized for presenting a complaint or filing a grievance. J. To better ensure that the grievance is addressed on an informal basis, a non-college related spokesperson or representative would not be permitted during the grievance process until the appeal process commences with an appeal to the President. 3. PRE-GRIEVANCE INFORMAL CONSULTATION - the following guidelines apply to a pre-grievance informal consultation in addition to the other applicable requirements of this procedure: A. Prior to initiating a grievance, a student should make reasonable efforts to resolve any questions, problems or misunderstandings that may arise. Students should evaluate whether a dispute involves executive discretionary matters by College personnel regarding the operation of the College or the management of students and employees. Such matters are not subject to the grievance process. B. For dissatisfactions and disputes not involving discretionary decisions by College personnel, students are encouraged to initiate discussions with the Dean of Student Services or a faculty member (where applicable) or any other employee involved at the time of dissatisfaction or when a problem arises. Such discussions are encouraged to better ensure that positive and prompt action is initiated to answer student questions and to resolve complaints. It is College personnel's responsibility to ensure that any complaint brought to him/her receives prompt attention. The student may meet with the Dean of Student Services prior to initiating a grievance to receive guidance and assistance. C. The complainant (student) must submit a brief written request for an informal meeting to the respondent within five (5) school days following the date of the incident, giving rise to the complaint or the date on which the complainant has knowledge of the incident. Within five (5) school days following the written request, the respondent will schedule an informal meeting with the complainant to discuss the alleged complaint, with the objective of resolving the matter to the satisfaction of the complainant and the respondent. A complainant may not file a grievance if the complainant has not requested and attended the informal meeting. D. At the informal meeting, the grievant is not responsible for notifying the respondent that a formal grievance may be filed. E. If the problem is resolved at this step, the issue will be dropped. F. If the complainant is unable to contact the respondent or the respondent is unwilling to meet with the grievant within the five (5) school day period, the grievant will notify the Dean of Student Services for further directions which may include skipping the respondent in the grievance procedure. 4. FORMAL GRIEVANCE STEP ONE: To initiate a grievance, the grievant will obtain a copy of the Student Grievance form from the Dean of Student Services and complete Step One. The Student Grievance form must be completed and filed with the Dean of Student Services within five (5) school days following the date of the informal meeting. A. The Dean of Student Services may determine whether the allegations filed constitute a grievance. If it is determined that a grievance does not exist in accordance with the definition, the grievance will not proceed and both the grievant and the respondent will 16

17 be notified accordingly. The student may appeal this decision to the Campus President within five (5) days following notification from the Dean of Student Services. The Campus President will have five (5) school days following receipt of the request to notify the Dean of Student Services, who will notify both the grievant and the respondent accordingly. B. The grievant will attach the following information to the Student Grievance form: (1) A brief summary of the dispute. (2) A description of the administrative rule or procedure violated, misinterpreted or misapplied. (3) A description of the facts in chronological order on which the grievant relies. (4) A statement with the names of all witnesses to the condition or action from which the grievance arose. (5) Copies of all documentation possessed by the grievant regarding the grievance process and all documentation leading to or involving the grievance. (6) A statement of the specific relief sought or resolution requested for the grievance. C. The grievant's statements on the Student Grievance form and the attached documentation constitute the grievant's written statement. The grievant may not add other grievances, modify the grievance, or modify the requested relief after the Student Grievance form is filed with the Dean of Student Services. The grievance shall proceed on the basis of the written statement. Nothing in this procedure shall be construed to prevent the Dean of Student Services, the President or any decision-making level listed in this procedure from granting any relief deemed appropriate. The Dean of Student Services will forward a copy of the Student Grievance form with attachments to the respondent within three (3) school days following receipt of the grievant's written statement. STEP TWO: The respondent will submit a written response to the Dean of Student Services within five (5) school days following receipt of the grievant's written statement. A. The respondent's written statement will prepare the following information and attach the documentation to the Student Grievance form: (1) A response to the grievant's written statement as the respondent deems appropriate. (2) Documentation that the respondent deems appropriate to the respondent's response. B. The respondent's statement on the Student Grievance form with the attached documentation is the respondent's written statement. The respondent may not modify the response after the Student Grievance form with attachments is filed with the Dean of Student Services. The grievance will proceed on the basis of the material described above. C. The Dean of Student Services will forward a copy of the completed Student Grievance form with attachments to the respondent's immediate supervisor within three (3) school days following receipt of the respondent's written statement. Within a maximum of five (5) school days after receiving the copies of the Student Grievance form, the respondent's immediate supervisor will schedule a meeting with both the grievant and respondent to discuss the grievance. The respondent's immediate supervisor will have five (5) school days following the date of receipt of the grievant's and respondent's statements from the Dean of Student Services to forward a written recommendation to both the grievant and the respondent. 17

18 STEP THREE: Student Grievance Hearing - if the grievant is not satisfied with this recommendation, the grievant will have five (5) school days following receipt of the recommendation, to notify the Dean of Student Services that the grievance will proceed. The grievant will determine whether the Student Grievance Hearing will be held either with the Dean of Student Services or the Student/Staff Committee. A. Dean of Student Services - the Dean of Student Services will schedule a hearing within five (5) school days after the grievant officially requests the hearing.
