PROGRAM OVERVIEW

CIHS Organization and Partner Roles
College in the High School is a University of Minnesota, Crookston program that delivers University courses, in collaboration with area high schools, to advanced high school students.
Administered by the Center for Adult Learning, the program offers regular, introductory University courses at participating high schools; all courses are approved for degree credit. Specially credentialed high school faculty members teach all College in the High Schools classes.
High Schools.  High schools and school districts pay CIHS tuition and fund classroom instruction, instructional space, textbook purchases, release time for high school teachers attending CIHS workshops, and transportation to campus visits.

High School Teachers, Administrators, and Guidance Counselors. Teachers provide classroom instruction and assist, as needed, administrators and guidance counselors in student registration and advising. 

University Academic Departments Heads.  Academic Department Heads review teacher credentials to ensure that they have met the minimum qualifications required of adjunct instructors at UMC (a Masters degree in the discipline or a minimum of 18 graduate credits in the discipline) and determine what courses credentialed instructors are qualified to teach.

Faculty Coordinators.  Each CIHS instructor is assigned a University of Minnesota, Crookston faculty member to serve as a coordinator that plays a critical role in ensuring that the University courses taught through CIHS offer the same content, assessment, and pedagogy as used on campus. 

Ensuring Quality:  NACEP Standards  UMC’s College in the High School program is accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).  To earn accreditation, the CIHS program  demonstrated that it meets NACEP standards related to instructors, curriculum, students, student assessment, and program evaluation. For more information about NACEP please visit www.NACEP.org

Note:  The 2005 legislature passed a law requiring Minnesota State Colleges and Universities to accept academic credit earned by students studying in NACEP-accredited programs.  The law also strongly urges the University of Minnesota and private Minnesota colleges to accept concurrent enrollment credit from NACEP-accredited programs.

PSEO Law and CIHS
The Minnesota Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Act allows advanced high school juniors and seniors to enroll in University courses for dual college and high school credit.  The law mandates that postsecondary institutions allow selected high school students to enroll in their on-campus courses, as space allows.  The law also allows schools and districts to contract with postsecondary institutions to provide postsecondary courses on site at high schools, as is the case with College in the High School.  Currently the law prohibits public schools from charging students for tuition. The law does not, however, prohibit schools from asking for voluntary donations.

COURSE OFFERINGS, AND STUDENT ELIGIBILITY
Courses Offered by College in the High School
Any 1000 or 2000 level course listed in UMC’s course catalog can be offered as a CIHS class if an instructor has been qualified for the particular discipline. Currently the CIHS program offers 44 courses from the five academic departments – Agriculture; Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; Business; Math, Science, and Technology; and Natural Resources.  All courses are approved for University degree credit. 

For a list of classes currently being offered through CIHS: http://www.umcrookston.edu/cihs/current/courses.htm

University of Minnesota Student Eligibility Criteria
College in the High School Program (CIHS)—Students must have achieved junior status in their high school and have a minimum cumulative high school GPA of 3.00 in order to be admitted and register to UMC course credit in the CIHS Program. College in the High School students must maintain a minimum UMC G.P.A of 2.0 each term to continue enrollment at UMC.
CIHS instructors, administrators, and guidance counselors at the high school are responsible for ensuring that students registered for CIHS classes have met the minimum participation qualifications.  

SCHOOL AND DISTRICT RESPONSIBILITIES
CIHS Tuition:  Due to the fact that high schools cover the instructional and facilities costs of CIHS courses, CIHS tuition is greatly reduced from ordinary University of Minnesota, Crookston tuition.  The 2008-09 College in the Schools tuition charge is $300.00 per course and $75.00 per student registration. Note: In 2007-08, regular tuition at UMC was $248 per credit.)  School districts are billed directly for student tuition.  Minnesota law currently prohibits public schools from charging students tuition for CIHS courses.  However, the law does not prohibit asking for voluntary contributions, which some CIHS partner schools have done.   

•  A free e-mail account: CIHS teachers are required to activate and monitor their U of M e-mail accounts. 
•  Eligibility for a U Card and Library Access: Allows instructors to use of all University libraries and facilities.  To obtain a U Card, teachers must submit a picture ID to the U Card office. Please visit http://www.umcrookston.edu/cal/Online/SF/ucard.htm for information. .
• Inactive CIHS teachers (i.e. those who are not teaching a-CIHS course at any point during the academic year, but who expect to in the future) may request to have their U of M e-mail accounts and library access maintained for one calendar year. 

• Instructor Approval:  In order to teach a College in the High School Course with UMC, the UMC Department Head will confirm that the high school teacher has met the minimum qualifications required of adjunct instructors at UMC (a Masters degree in the discipline or a minimum of 18 graduate credits in the discipline).
  A New Instructor form can be found online: http://www.umcrookston.edu/cihs/prospective/newinstructor.htm
  
  High school faculty provides the UMC CIHS representative with:
  • resume
  • college transcripts
  • course syllabus (supplied and/or approved by department head) 
  • course request (what class instructor would like to teach)
  • submit these materials to UMCCIHS@umn.edu
• Orientation with Faculty Coordinator(s): All new teachers will also work with the faculty coordinator for the discipline to prepare the content, pedagogy, assessment and syllabus for the University course they will be teaching.
   
• Creating a U of M Syllabus: The University requires certain information be included on all UMC syllabi.  A syllabi template is available from the following website: http://csms.umcrookston.edu/

Regular Monitoring of UMC E-mail
The CIHS office sends all official communication to teachers via their High School e-mail address.  Critical and timely information about course management, workshops, and student registration will arrive via e-mail. It is essential that CIHS teachers regularly monitor e-mail accounts and notify the CIHS program of any e-mail changes.

Teacher Workshops:
Workshop Attendance CIHS teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors are all encouraged to attend the annual CIHS workshop as well as various department workshops that are held throughout the year. Workshop Attendance is critical, because they function as faculty meetings for CIHS courses. The workshops provide opportunities for teachers to keep updated on the University course they are teaching as well as to participate in the intellectual and collegial community of the University and CIHS.

*NACEP standards require all participating CIHS instructors to attend at least one workshop per year.

Observing UMC and CIHS Administrative Timelines
Dates and deadlines should be followed closely by instructors, administrators and guidance counselors. Dates and Deadlines CIHS are kept up to date and can be found here: http://www.umcrookston.edu/cihs/current/DatesandDeadlines.htm  
CIHS uses the University-wide PeopleSoft system for establishing CIHS teachers as affiliated University faculty, creating the CIHS course sections, registering CIHS students at the University, and submitting student grades.  Your cooperation in meeting deadlines is critical to accomplishing this work with minimal difficulty.  CIHS does not control PeopleSoft and cannot alter requirements of “the System.”  Thanks!

Student Advising
CIHS teachers and school guidance counselors provide invaluable advising to CIHS students.  As non- degree students, CIHS students do not have access to the same advising services that admitted students on campus do.  Moreover, for many students, CIHS will be their first encounter with the rigor and responsibilities of a college course.  Advising can be critical to ensuring student success.

When students are considering enrolling:  Help students make informed decisions as they consider enrolling in a CIHS course.  Encourage them to consider questions such as these:

• Will the CIHS course workload fit with my other classes?
• What other commitments do I have during this term—work, sports, music, drama, debate, time with friends and family, etc.?  Can I meet the attendance requirements of the CIHS course?
• What is the impact of enrolling in more than one advanced course when considering my other commitments?

Review the CIHS Student Handbook with the class.  Every student who enrolls in a CIHS course will be responsible for knowing its contents.  During the first week of class, please review the handbook with students to make sure they are aware of college expectations.  Note: many teachers report that this saves them time later as students have questions about grades, transcripts, and credit transfer.  The full CIHS Student Handbook is available online at http://www.umcrookston.edu/cihs/current/StudentHandbook.htm

When students are doing poorly in the CIHS class:  U of M grades are recorded on permanent academic transcripts; no matter what grade they receive. CIHS teachers should let students know if they are in jeopardy of failing a CIHS course. Students who are in danger of failing a course should consider withdrawing from the course before the deadline to drop deadline. See dates and deadlines for more information: http://www.umcrookston.edu/cihs/current/DatesandDeadlines.htm  

Teacher and Student Participation in CIHS Surveys
College in the High School conducts ongoing research related to the impact of CIHS participation on teachers, students, and schools.  In particular, CIHS surveys all students one year and five years after CIHS participation to learn about their success in gaining credit recognition for their U of M credits earned through CIHS.  CIHS asks that teachers encourage students (perhaps by making mention of this on the syllabus) to anticipate and return these surveys.

UMC AND CIHS POLICIES
Tuition Refunds
If a student officially registers for a CIHS course the school well be assessed a $25.00 registration fee. The University grants no refunds.

College in the High School 2008-2009 late withdraw/drop fee
Any UMC College in the High School student wishing to drop/withdraw from a University of Minnesota, Crookston College in the High School class after the term drop deadline must submit a petition form to the University of Minnesota, Crookston CIHS program (UMCCIHS@umn.edu).  This petition form  will then be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar for appropriate processing.  A $50.00 processing fee will be charged per student, per school.  This petition does not guarantee admission or registration.

Student Eligibility
CIHS courses are the same courses offered at UMC and are intended only for students who have demonstrated the readiness for college rigor and responsibility.  For this reason CIHS, in consultation with CIHS teachers and University faculty, has developed a set of eligibility criteria; teachers and principals must use these criteria when placing students into a CIHS class.

Student Qualifications
In order for a high school student to register for UMC course credit the student must have:

• achieved junior status in the high school
• cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher
• a valid social security number

**College in the High School students must maintain a minimum UMC G.P.A of 2.0 each term to continue enrollment at UMC.

UMC Syllabus Requirements
The University requires certain information to appear on every U of M syllabus.  CIHS faculty coordinators, and academic department heads review and approve all CIHS syllabi.
The UMC Web site has syllabi template for instructors to follow: http://csms.umcrookston.edu/ In addition to a syllabi template, instructors can view other UMC syllabi being used by other faculty members.

Class Attendance Policy
Attendance is one of the most important factors for student success in college classes. Policy set by the University of Minnesota, Crookston may be implemented per participating school district and instructor discretion. The credentialed CIHS Instructor, along with the school district's Administration, will establish classroom protocol. For reference and integration view UMC's complete attendance policy by visiting  http://www.umcrookston.edu/info/policies/attendance.htm .
Instructors, guided by the policies of their departments, set their own attendance regulations and rules for late work and may include attendance as a grading criterion. Students are held responsible for meeting all course requirements and for observing deadlines, examination times, and other procedures.
The University permits absences from class for participation in religious observances.  Students who plan to miss class must 1) inform instructors of anticipated absences at the beginning of the term; 2) meet with instructors to reschedule any missed examinations; and 3) obtain class notes from other students.

UMC Grading
University grade definitions establish the qualities of expected performance. CIHS instructors define grade standards for their courses in conformity with their U of M departmental policies. Grade definitions assume that instructors, knowing their course or courses’ basic requirements, can determine when students meet or exceed them.
Grades describe levels of achievement. University legislation prescribes the following grades and symbols that will be reported on the student's transcript:

Pluses and minuses are used: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, and F. Note that A+ and D- are not allowed by the University.

Incompletes: An "I" may be awarded when course work is incomplete and the instructor 1) has a "reasonable expectation" that the student can successfully complete the unfinished work on his/her own no later than one year from the last day of classes and 2) believes that legitimate reasons exist to justify extending the deadline for course completion. If a student does not complete the requirements for the course and does not request an incomplete, a grade reflecting the student's performance in the course should be assigned; however, under these circumstances, a grade of I should not be assigned. Assigning a grade of I when a student has not requested it might delay necessary intervention with a student having academic difficulty.

Each instructor's policies for awarding an I must be announced in class and included in the course syllabus the first week of the term. The student and instructor must fill out a written agreement stating the terms for completion whenever an incomplete is requested and approved. CIHS recommends using the “Agreement for the Completion of Incomplete Work” form which can be downloaded http://www.class.umn.edu/crimson/dependancies/multimedia/completion
_of_incomplete_work1.pdf

Upon successful completion of the course work, the I is changed to a permanent grade. http://onestop.umn.edu/onestop/faculty/Grades/Supplemental_Grade_Reporting.html for instructions on using the supplemental grades system. An I that is not completed within one calendar year automatically becomes an F.

Withdrawals: A W indicates that a student has officially withdrawn from a course after the second week of classes. Cancellations through the first two weeks of class are not recorded. http://www.umcrookston.edu/cihs/current/DatesandDeadlines.htmfor instructions and deadlines.

Quantity of Work per Credit
The University Senate prescribes the quantity of work needed to earn a credit as three hours per credit per week or approximately 45 hours per credit per semester. The manner in which the course is taught determines how much of the work will be in the classroom, laboratory, library, or independent study and research. A student should expect to spend about 9 hours a week, including class time, on a 3-credit course.

Scholastic Dishonesty:  Policy, Process, & Resources
Policy:The full University Student Conduct Code of scholastic dishonesty can be found here: http://onestop.umcrookston.edu/registration/grades/credits/scholasticdishonesty.htm
The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs serves as the Academic Integrity Officer at the University of Minnesota, Crookston. A report of Scholastic Dishonesty is to be filed with the Academic Integrity Officer if an incident has occurred for which faculty have taken specific action. The specific form can be obtained from the Academic Affairs Office.
Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. Cases of dishonesty may be handled as a scholastic matter or as a student conduct code matter at the discretion of the instructor. Instructors choosing to treat the case as a scholastic matter have the authority to decide how the incident of dishonesty will affect the student's grade in the course. If the instructor has treated the case as a scholastic matter involving the grade in a course and the student has a grievance related to this action, that grievance would be processed as outlined in Article IV, Section 3 of the Campus Assembly Constitution. Instructors choosing to treat the case as a disciplinary matter will refer the case to UMC's Student Conduct Code Coordinator for resolution under the University's Student Conduct Code.

1. Cheating on a test includes, but is not restricted to:
   • Copying from another student's test.
   • Possessing or using material during a test not authorized by the person giving the test.
   • Collaborating with or seeking aid from another student during a test without permission from the instructor.
   • Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or in part the contents of an unadministered test.
   • Substituting for another student or permitting another student to substitute for oneself to take a test.
   • Bribing another person to obtain an unadministered test or information about an unadministered test.
2. Plagiarism means the appropriation, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining by any means another person's work and the unacknowledged submission or incorporation of it in one's own work.
3. Collusion means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing any academic work offered for credit.

CIHS staff and faculty will decide, in consultation with the CIHS teacher, whether to report the incident to the UMC’s Student Conduct Code Coordinator. The following steps are taken when it is decided to report scholastic dishonesty:

1. The instructor must report the incident in writing to the CIHS director and faculty coordinator.
2. CIHS will forward the letter to UMC’s Student Conduct Code Coordinator.
3. UMC’s Student Conduct Code Coordinator will mail a letter to the student, giving him or her the opportunity to appeal (all involved parties will be copied).

Resources:  Two U of M Web sites contain valuable resources related to academic dishonesty:

• Office for Student Academic Integrity:

Registration Cancellations:  Deadlines and Procedure
Canceling within the first two weeks: If a student registration is officially canceled within the first two weeks of the high school term, the course will not appear on the student’s transcript. Please fax or e-mail a CIHS cancellation to UMCCIHS@umn.edu by indicating who the student(s) are to be dropped, and what class they should be dropped from. 

Withdrawing between the third week and the midterm: An officially canceled registration will appear as a W (withdrawal) on the student’s permanent transcript. Please fax or e-mail a CIHS cancellation to UMCCIHS@umn.edu by indicating who the student(s) are to be dropped, and what CIHS class they should be dropped from.

Withdrawing after the midterm:  Course withdrawals after the high school midterm must be requested by petition and approved by the office of the registrar.  Petitions may be sent in the form of an e-mail indicating the name of the student wishing to withdraw, what class they would like to withdraw from, and why they were not dropped before deadline to withdraw from classes. Petitions should be e-mailed to UMCCIHS@umn.edu

Late Withdrawal fee:
College in the High School 2008-2009 late withdraw/drop fee- Any UMC College in the High School student wishing to drop/withdraw from a University of Minnesota, Crookston College in the High School class after October 15, 2007 must submit a letter of petition to the University of Minnesota, Crookston Center for Adult Learning (UMCCIHS@umn.edu).  This petition form will then be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar for appropriate processing.  A $50.00 processing fee will be charged per student, per school.  This petition does not guarantee admission or registration.

One-time discretionary course cancellation:  U of M students have one opportunity to withdraw from a course between the midterm and the final day of class without approval by the registrars office.  The discretionary cancellation is a valuable option when the student is not making satisfactory progress in the class.  These petitions result in a W (withdrawal) on the student’s transcript.  If a student cancels after midterm, is not doing passing work, and does not select the one-time option, a permanent grade of F will appear on the student’s U of M transcript.

Required Syllabus Information and Faculty Review
The CIHS program, following NACEP accreditation standards, requires that syllabi for each CIHS class be approved by faculty coordinators and be on file in the CIHS office.  Click here: http://csms.umcrookston.edu/for a list of UMC syllabus requirements and resources.

Faculty review process:   Submit a copy of your syllabus at the same time that you submit your course request form.  The syllabus will then be forwarded by the CIHS office to your faculty coordinator for review and approval.

Student U Cards
All CIHS students are eligible to receive a U Card once their course registration has been processed. Please follow the directions found on this website to obtain a U-Card: http://www.umcrookston.edu/cal/online/SF/ucard.htm

Student Course Evaluations
The University requires that its courses be evaluated each time they are taught.  Shortly before the end of your term, the CIHS office will send out e-mail reminders to have instructors encourage students to submit evaluations via the web.
Step by step directions for submitting course evaluations can be found here: http://www.umcrookston.edu/cihs/studenteval.htm
Note on administering course evaluations: Evaluations must be administered during a regular class period before exam week and must be handed out, completed, and collected without the instructor present (usually a student from the class is asked to handle this process). Data from student evaluations is provided to the CIHS teacher only after final grades are submitted.

Submitting University Grades
The University of Minnesota requires all grades to be submitted online

Grades are due within Ten business days of your last class session.  Click here: http://www.umcrookston.edu/info/policies/grading.htm for grading policies and criteria at UMC.

Before you enter grades:  Because the online grading system does not permit submission of partial grade rosters, you must take care of any registration changes (late registrations, cancellations, or withdrawals) before beginning final grading.

To submit final grades: Go to http://onestop.umn.edu/onestop/faculty/Grades.htm Select “Enter final grades” (under “Grades”).  There you will see options to view (and print for later reference, if you wish) a grading tutorial and FAQs as well as the option to actually enter your final grades.

Early grades, late grades, and grade changes: Select “enter supplemental grades” http://onestop.umn.edu/onestop/faculty/Grades.html.  Note that grades entered or changed via the supplemental grading system are subject to U of M audit policies.

Incompletes:  A grade of I may be submitted for a student who has made arrangements with you to meet criteria and deadlines for completing coursework after the end of the term.  When the work has been completed, you change the grade from I to a final grade using the supplemental grades system.  A grade of I is automatically converted to an F after a period of one year.

Questions?  If you have any questions or problems using the online grading system, call the Center for Adult Learning 218-281-8677.
