How and when do I get paid?
Faculty are paid at the end of their class session, on the first regular faculty paycycle Friday after the end of their class term. For the Winterim 2010, this falls on January 22, 2010. Instructors will receive their full payment amount as a single deposit at that time. Payments may not be split up for the Winterim.

For this year, all payments to instructors will be made by Direct Deposit - no hard copy checks will be generated. For first-time hires or for instructors that were not employed by the university in the Fall semester, forms to set up Direct Deposit may be obtained from the Payroll Website the Winterim Office (319 Cooper St., 2nd Floor), where they may be either picked up in person, or mailed to whatever address the instructor provides. Funds are drawn from PNC Bank in New Brunswick.

How do I get an RUNet ID? (This is necessary for logging into the Rutgers system)
An RUNet ID is required to log on to any of the Rutgers Computer systems, including the Class Roster system, email, eCollege, and other electronic services including SAKAI). To acquire an RUNet ID, you must be entered into the payroll system. If you are regular faculty, after you receive you first paycheck, you are eligible to register for RUNet. For part-time instructors, guest RUNet ID’s may be generated after payroll in New Brunswick has received your information from the Winterim Office. This means you must have signed and turned in your contract, and provided any required support forms (I-9, W-4, provided Social Security card and photo ID, etc.). Guest accounts usually only extend for three months from the time of activation so accounts should not be active any sooner then November 1 to avoid expiration problems before the end of the course.

To create an RUNet ID (and therefore a Rutgers Email account - they functionally are the same thing), go to the account creation webpage: http://oit.rutgers.edu/services/account/quick.html. Part time faculty select the “Guest Account" option. Full time faculty select the “Early faculty/staff account" option. Camden faculty will have their accounts on crab.rutgers.edu server (aliased as camden.rutgers.edu).

You will be asked to fill out a form (on the website) that must be turned into the Computing Services Office at: Accounts, Computing Services, 121 Business & Science Building, Rutgers Camden Campus, Camden, NJ 08102, or FAXed to (856)225-6436. Any questions regarding the account or the form should be addressed to the Camden Computing Services Account Office at (856)225-6065. The office is open Monday through Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm. Questions may also be sent to help@crab.rutgers.edu

How do I get a Faculty ID Card (hard copy)? (necessary to use athletic center, computers on campus, and library)
A Campus ID Card is necessary to access certain facilities on campus, including using the athletic center, using the library or gaining borrowing privileges, or using the computer centers on campus. You must have completed your payroll information (turned in signed contract and any requested support documents). A copy of your signed contract will serve as temporary ID for access to campus facilities.

To obtain an ID Card, you will need to take a copy of your contract and a photo ID to the Impact Booth on the first floor of the Campus Center to have them produce an ID Card. The Card will have a barcode on its reverse side that becomes your Library borrowing ID, for borrowing books from the library or placing books on reserve. An ID Card does not have any connection to your RUNet ID (your electronic ID for email and access to Rutgers electronic systems). They are two separate processes. The Impact Booth may be reached by calling (856)225-6161.

How do I get a parking hangtag?
To park in any of the Rutgers parking lots during the summer requires a parking hangtag, otherwise your car will be ticketed or potentially towed. Parking is scarce in Camden and on Campus, so public transportation is encouraged. Parking hangtags may be obtained from the Parking Office, Administrative Services Building, Camden, NJ 08102, phone (856)225-6137. They are open 8:30am-4:00pm Monday through Friday. You will need to bring a copy of your contract and your vehicle registration to obtain a parking hangtag. Faculty may park in the Lots 1 and 2 (across the street from and behind Armitage Hall), and in Lot 14 (Third and Pearl Sts). Portions of Lots 12 and 13 (also on Third St) may be available - contact Parking for details.
Back to top.

Where do I park?
Faculty with hangtags may park in the Lots 1 and 2 (across the street from and behind Armitage Hall), and in Lot 14 (Third and Pearl Sts). Portions of Lots 12 and 13 (also on Third St) may be available - contact Parking for details at 856-225-6137. There additionally is metered street parking on Fifth, Pearl and Third Sts., and an independent parking garage at Sixth and Cooper Sts. (rates vary).
Back to top.

What are these payroll forms I need?
University Payroll requires several forms from individuals hired by the university:

  • Contract: will be sent to you from the Winterim Office. You will get two copies - one which you may keep for your own records and to use as a temporary ID on campus, and one which should be signed and returned to the Winterim Office. No payroll can be processed until the signed contract is returned.
  • ID Forms: All new hires must provide a Social Security Card (it MUST be the actual Social Security Card), and a photo ID (Driver’s License, Passport, Military ID, etc.).
  • Payroll Forms: These include tax forms, W4 for federal and potentially out of state forms if the instructor does not reside in the state of NJ.
  • International instructors must also provide proof of eligibility of employment in the United States.
All forms must be returned to the Winterim Office at 319 Cooper St., 2nd Floor, Camden, NJ 08102. You will not be able to acquire an RUNet ID or a University ID Card until all of your payroll information has been processed.
Back to top.

Do I get an office?
Visiting faculty and instructors are assigned office space at the discretion of the department. Space availability varies amongst departments on a semester basis. Contact the department head or secretary for access to office space, phone lines, and other academic supplies.
Back to top.

There is an error or changes to my class listing in the catalog or on the website - whom do I contact?
If you notice an error in your class listing, your contact information, or wish to update your listing in any way (you have more class information to add, wish to add first day’s assignment, or whatever), contact Paul Butler in the Winterim Office at (856)225-6098 or at pbutler@crab.rutgers.edu to update the website. The catalog has already been printed and cannot now be changed.
Back to top.

Where do I find out if classes on campus have been cancelled?
In the unlikely event of emergencies on campus (hurricane, massive power outages, etc.), and classes need to be cancelled, this information will be posted on the university website. Alternatively, you can contact the Winterim Office at (856)225-6098 or the Office of Public Information at (856)225-6026. Please note that in the case of some emergencies (such as power outages) it may not be possible to reach anyone on campus by phone.
Back to top.

My room (or building) is locked - how do I get in?
Occasionally Facilities Maintenance will forget to unlock rooms or buildings (Penn 401, for example). Contact either the Winterim Office (856)225-6098 at 319 Cooper St, 2nd Floor; or contact Campus Security at (856)226-6009 in the Administrative Services Building, 409 North 4th St. Response time is usually a few minutes. We try to make sure that all spaces are available as necessary, but mistakes do happen.
Back to top.

There are problems with the room (air conditioning off, windows or lights broken, etc) - what do I do?
If there are any problems with the classroom, such as equipment failures, air conditioning issues, broken lights or windows, contact the Winterim Office at (856)225-6098 in 319 Cooper St, 2nd Floor. Do not simply move the class without contacting the Winterim Office - we will respond very quickly to solve the problem. If we need to move the class due to problems with the space, we will make every effort to do so with the smallest amount of disruption possible.

Please note that if there are problems with the computer interface or media station should be addressed to Computing Services at 856-225-6274, as they do troubleshooting for that equipment.

How do I see my class list? (access roster)
There will no longer be any hard copy rosters, preliminary or final, distributed on campus. All class information will only be available via the webreg system. You will need to have an RUNet ID to access the class rosters (see above for obtaining an RUNet ID).
  1. Go to the website: http://registrar.camden.rutgers.edu/faculty_self.html and select Class Rosters in the "Frequency Visited" section (bottom toward left).
  2. On Rutgers Central Authentication Service page, enter your RUNet ID and password, leave Authentication type as Default, and select LOGIN.
  3. On the Class Rosters Application page, enter the Term (Winterim 2010) and class information (Unit, Subject, Course, Section, Year) in the appropriate fields on the page, and select Retrieve Roster.
  4. The roster with enrolled students will be displayed.
Please be aware that in order to access the Online Roster you will have needed to have 1.) completed all of your payroll paperwork with the Winterim Office 2.) created an RUID Account (same as your Rutgers email account) 3.) been given permission to access the roster by your department, usually through the secretary. Note that if your course is cross listed among multiple departments (such as undergraduate and graduate, or History and English, or whatever), that you will have to obtain permission through each department that the class is listed in to access the roster under that department. For example, a course "Origins of the Internet" is listed under History, Sociology and Computer Science. Three rosters will be generated for the course, one for each of its listings, and to access each, the instructor would need to have permissions activated by the History, Sociology and Comp.Sci. departments. Contact your department secretary for more information regarding that procedure.

Note: if you want to create an email list of the students in your class, you may use the RAMS system and add any email addresses of students in your class. It is recommended that you suggest to the students to create RU Net ID accounts so that they may access their grades, get Rutgers information, etc. You can additionally find an email list of students from the Roster page by selecting the “Download email addresses for Listserv" or “Download email addresses for Majordomo" options on the roster display page. However this uses the default email information from the registrar's student profiles. Many students do not submit any email information, and often the default account is a Rutgers account that the student does not check with any regularity. Emails may also be obtained by selecting the "Download Excel Format" option (far right) on the Course Roster screen (the emails are not normally listed on the default screen).

For additional help with the roster page, select the Help tab at the top of the Class Roster Application page.
Back to top.

How and when do I submit grades? (NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO MORE HARD COPY ROSTERS!)
Please note that there will be no more hard copy grade rosters available to submit grades. The only way to submit grades to the registrar’s will be via the webreg system. You will need an RUNet ID to access the webreg roster system to submit your grades. To enter your grades for class:

  1. Go to the website: http://registrar.camden.rutgers.edu/faculty_self.html and select Class Rosters in the "Frequency Visited" section (bottom toward left).
  2. On Rutgers Central Authentication Service page, enter your RUNet ID and password, leave Authentication type as Default, and select LOGIN.
  3. On the Class Rosters Application page, enter the Term (Winterim 2010) and class information (Unit, Subject, Course, Section, Year) in the appropriate fields on the page. Click on the check box in front of the option “Check the box to Submit “Grades" for Students by Course," and then select “Retrieve Roster."
  4. The roster of enrolled students will be displayed, with spaces to enter the grades. There will also be additional blank spaces at the bottom of the student list to enter students who do not appear on the list, but attended the class. Please type in what information you have on the student in those fields, and enter the appropriate grade.
  5. When you are done, select Submit at the bottom of the page and the grades will be submitted to the registrar’s system.
Grades are due from the faculty within 48 hours of the end of class. Grades submitted later than that will have to be manually entered by the Registrar's Office - please contact the Registrar's Office for more information at 856-225-6053.

Grades may be assigned as follows:

  • A: Outstanding, numeric 4.0
  • B+: numeric 3.5
  • B: Good, numeric 3.0
  • C+: numeric 2.5
  • C: Satisfactory, numeric 2.0
  • D: Poor, numeric 1.0 (not a valid grade for graduate courses).
  • F: Failing, numeric 0.0
    Please note, there are no minus grades, such as A-, B- etc. Minus grades assigned will convert to the grade without the minus.

    Other valid grade symbols are:

  • S/U: Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory - given only when a course is taken on a non-credit basis.
  • P/NC: Pass/No Credit - A non-numerical grade of P/NC is assigned only to Rutgers University regularly enrolled students who have registered for an undergraduate course on a Pass/Fail basis when such registration is in accord with the regulations of the unit. P (Pass) is equivalent to an A, B, or C, while NC (No credit) is equivalent to a D or F.
  • IN: Incomplete - may be used by the instructor when the student is unable to fulfill the course requirements and the completion of such would substantially improve the grade. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor to arrange for submission of a Change of Grade Form to change the IN to an appropriate letter grade. Undergraduate IN convert to an F on February 15, 2010 unless the deadline has been extended by the professor via the registrar’s office. Graduate IN have one year from the end of the course before converting to an F.
  • W: Withdrawn - this is assigned only by the registrar’s office, and indicates a student has officially withdrawn from class. If a student has stopped attending a class, the professor should assign a TZ as below.
  • TZ: Temporarily assigned by an instructor to students who have never attended or stopped attending a course section without officially withdrawing. The instructor should in the notes section indicate the last day of attendance if the student stopped attending a class. TZ’s will convert to F’s on February 15 if the student does not contact the Winterim Office to resolve the problem. The instructor does not have to fill out any Change of Grade Forms for this to happen.
  • RD/RF: Re-examination permitted. For use only when the instructor cannot assign a grade better than D and considers the final examination grade to be dramatically inconsistent with the student’s previous work as to merit a re-examination. The instructor should arrange with the student a re-examination, and the instructor must then fill out a Change of Grade Form. This must be done by February 15. At that time, an RD will convert to a D and an RF will convert to an F.

    Change of Grade Forms are available from either the Winterim Office or the Registrar’s Office. They should be submitted to the Registrar’s office when completed.
    Back to top.

    May I post grades somewhere for my students?
    No. Student information is confidential and should not be posted in part or in whole anywhere where it might be publicly viewed. Secondarily, students who have not properly registered and paid for their course should not have access to their grades (students that have not registered/paid will not have their grades posted to the registrar’s system or to the webreg until they have resolved their registration issues). Grades should not be emailed or otherwise given to students. The only place grades are and should be available to students is through the webreg or the registrar’s systems. Paid students can access both of these systems for their grades.
    Back to top.

    How and when do I order books?
    You should submit your book request to the bookstore starting in April.

    1. Go to the University District Bookstore website at: http://www.udb.bkstr.com
    2. Select the “Faculty Services" tab on the left side of the main page.
    3. Select “eDoptions" by either clicking the “>>Go" just below it or on the picture to the right of it.
    4. If you have not ordered books before, you will need to create an account. Select Register under New Users and follow the registration instructions. Otherwise enter your login information and follow instructions.
    You may also print out and submit the Book Order Form.

    You will need the author, title, edition and ISBN for the books you would like to have placed on order.

    The bookstore receives regular enrollment updates from the Wtinerim Office, so you do not need to worry about how many copies of the book to order. If you wish, the required textbooks for your course can be posted to the Winterim website with your course listing. Contact Paul Butler (pbutler@crab.rutgers.edu or (856)225-6098) with the relevant information.
    Back to top.

    How and when do students get books?
    The bookstore hours will be posted on the Bookstore Front Page: http://www.udb.bkstr.com Student may obtain books from the bookstore or other vendors once the information is available about the books from the instructor. The bookstore will maintain information about what books the instructor has requested for the class, though this information may also be available from the website if the instructor has provided information there. Students should have acquired the necessary books before the start of class. The bookstore will be open late during the first two nights of evening classes of each summer term for last minute purchases.
    Back to top.

    When is my class?
    Your contract should indicate the meeting times for your course. Alternatively, this information is also available on the Winterim website and in the Winterim Catalog. In general, the following codes are used to indicate the time of class:

    Terms:

  • W1: Wednesday, 12/23/09 8:30am-12:10pm; 1/4/10-1/15/10 M,Tu,W,Th,F 8:30am-12:10pm
  • W2: Wednesday, 12/23/09 8:30am-12:10pm; 1/4/10-1/15/10 M,Tu,W,Th,F 8:30am-12:10pm (alternate section for W1)
  • W3: Wednesday, 12/23/09 1:00pm-1:40pm; 1/4/10-1/15/10 M,Tu,W,ThF 1:00pm-4:40pm
  • W6: Wednesday, 12/23/09 6:00pm-9:40pm; 1/4/10-1/15/10 M,Tu,W,Th,F 6:00pm-9:40pm
  • W7: Wednesday, 12/23/09 6:00pm-9:40pm; 1/4/10-1/15/10 M,Tu,W,Th,F 6:00pm-9:40pm (alternate section for W6) Please note that the Mathematics courses do NOT meet on December 23, but meet for a slightly extended time during the January dates. Also note that the language courses meet for additional time as well - see the schedule of classes for specific times.

    It is expected that classes will meet every indicated day, and for the full class time in order for the class to have sufficient instructor-contact hours to be accredited (please note that the instructor must be present in order for it to be considered instructor-contact hours). If you are unable to meet for the complete time on any given day, that time must be made up at some point in the course schedule with the full agreement of the students.


    Back to top.

    When will I know if my class is running?
    Classes that achieve their enrollment targets will run - you can determine this by looking at your online roster. The enrollment target is listed on your contract. In cases where the enrollment is low, we usually will not make any final determinations until the last week of registration (there are sometimes registration rushes during the last week of registration for a term). In any case, if the enrollment is low we will contact the instructor with options. If we decide to cancel a course for low enrollment, we will contact the instructor usually no later than the Monday after the last day of regular registration. Cancelled courses are also indicated on the Winterim website immediately after a decision has been made.
    Back to top.

    Where is my class?
    The location of the class is listed in the course listings. The room location follows the Index number in the second line of the course listing in the catalog or on the website. Building codes are as follows:

    • ARM or ATG: Armitage Hall, 311 North Fifth St.
    • BSB: Business and Science Building, Third and Penn Sts.
    • CS: "Cooper Street" Building, 319 Cooper St.
    • FA: Fine Arts Building, Third and Linden Sts.
    • LIB: Paul Robeson Library, (2nd Floor seminar rooms) front entrance at center of campus green.
    • PENN 401: Library Lecture Hall, 401 "Penn St." (Penn St. is actually a sidewalk at that point - this is the side entrance of the library facing the Law School)
    • SCI: (Old) Science Building, Third and "Penn Sts."
    • SLH: Science Lecture Hall in the Science Building, 1st Floor of Science Building
    Occasionally it is necessary to change classrooms due to equipment needs, class size, or other considerations. Classroom locations with any changes are posted on the front doors of all building during the first week of each Winterim, and signs are posted at the individual rooms of any classes that have been changed. The website will also be updated to reflect the room changes.

    If instructors wish a different room (for whatever reason) the Winterim Office will do our best to accommodate them within the available campus resources. Please contact Paul Butler at 856-225-6098 or pbutler@crab.rutgers.edu for assistance.
    Back to top.

    I need powerpoint or multi-media for my class - how do I make sure I have it?
    Presently, all classrooms in Armitage, Business and Science, 319 Cooper St., and Fine Arts are equipped with overhead projectors, computer inputs to an overhead projector, and VCRs. A large number of them also have DVD units. In the Business and Science Building, all classrooms are equipped with instructor station computers. In the other buildings, only the large lecture classrooms (ARM 121, ARM 124, FA 110, Penn 401, SLH) have built-in computers - the other rooms will require that you have a laptop or other portable computer to connect to the overhead projector (connection cords are supplied in the room). Laptops are available from the department, but they are in limited supply - contact your department secretary or chair for availability. Also please note that laptops may require software adaptation to be compatible with the Rutgers-Camden hookups. Contact Computing Services at 856-225-6274 with any questions or problems with laptop hookup.

    There are a very limited number of "full" smart classrooms on campus that provide computer stations to both the instructor and all students. BSB 335 and BSB 336 house approximately 35 computer stations each. However, MBA and School of Business courses are given preference for those rooms. A smaller room, BSB 337C has 15 computer stations available, but has the same restrictions. BSB 134 has stored laptops for potential use, but again this is generally restricted to School of Business courses. There are no devoted Arts and Sciences full smart rooms. There are also two limited access smart rooms available. One is a 20 station room in the basement of the Library called the "e-Classroom." The other is the North Conference Room in the basement of the Campus center. Both of these rooms are not normally scheduled classrooms in the Summer, but may be occasionally used on a day basis by a class with special requirements for a project. Please contact Paul Butler in the Winterim Office at 856-225-6098 for more information. Please note also that the Library and Campus Center close at 6pm, so neither of these spaces are available in the evening.

    Presently only four rooms are equipped with slide projectors (FA 110, 217, 219, 221), and there is a single portable unit in Armitage Hall. Only FA 215 is supplied with devoted audio equipment. There is one portable ELMO unit available for use anywhere on campus from the Winterim Office. The Winterim Office also has two telescopes which may be accessed for class use. There are no other portable units for any other purpose on campus.

    Basically you should check the room to which you have been assigned to make sure the necessary equipment is available in that room. If it is not, please contact the Winterim Office at pbutler@crab.rutgers.edu or (856)225-6098 to have your class moved to a room that can accommodate your needs.

    PLEASE NOTE: outside of the Business and Science Building, only the large lecture hall classrooms have built-in computers. Because of limited space, these classrooms are usually reserved for the largest classes. If you need a computer for your class and do not own a portable, please contact your department to borrow a laptop rather than trying to access one of the large lecture halls, as most likely they will not be available to you.
    Back to top.

    I need photocopying done - how is this handled?
    Photocopying is done through the department. Contact your department for departmental access codes and procedures as to where photocopiers are, etc. PLEASE NOTE: most departments are only open 8:30am to 4:30pm. If you are teaching at night, you may not have access to copiers during the evening - contact your department for instructions. In an emergency, copying may be done through the Winterim Office - contact at (856)225-6098.
    Back to top.

    I need whiteboard markers, erasers, bluebooks or other academic supplies - how is this handled?
    Any consumable items that are needed for classroom use are acquired through the academic department. Understand that some items may need to be ordered from suppliers, and that this may take one or more weeks to obtain. Please contact your academic department secretary with any requests as soon as possible so that supplies may be available to you in a timely manner. In an emergency, some supplies may be available at the Winterim Office. Long use items (printer cartridges, laptop batteries, etc.) will not be considered. Other items (instructional DVDs or films, for example) must be approved by the Winterim Director before purchase.
    Back to top.

    How do I reserve books in the library?
    You will need a University ID card with library barcode to place books on reserve in the library. You may fill out the reserve forms at the reserve desk in the library to place books on reserve. Alternatively, it may be done from the library website: http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/lib_servs/reserve_services_faculty.shtml Select the option for Camden Robeson Library under How to Submit Reserve Requests, and complete the form on that page. For further information, contact the library reserve desk at (856)225-6033.
    Back to top.

    My class is web-enhanced - how do I set that up?
    Course enhancements based on the web are done through one of two methods. Either the instructor can themselves set up an independent website, or they can use the university SAKAI system or eCollege.

    Instructors with RUNet ID’s have a large amount of space on the crab server to create a website should they so choose. A number of web toolkits and other information can be found on the Rutgers Computer Services website: http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/HELP/internet.php Further help can be obtained at help@camden.rutgers.edu

    The SAKAI system is an in-house electronic classroom system. Details on the SAKAI system may be found at https://sakai.rutgers.edu/portal including instructions on how to use SAKAI.

    eCollege is a commercial electronic classroom system that is used by some instructors on the campus for online courses or for course supplements. See the website at http://rutgersonline.com/ for more information on the program and how to use it.
    Back to top.

    I want to take students on a field trip - what do I have to do?
    Contact the Winterim Office (856)225-6098 to let us know your intentions, so that we know where the class and students are, and so that we may provide assistance as possible. There is limited accessibility to shuttle buses on campus to provide transportation to off-campus sites, so arranging for alternative transportation is preferable.
    Back to top.

    I need to miss a day of class or am running late to class - whom do I contact?
    Classes are expected to meet each indicated day for the full time to allow for enough contact hours for the class to be accredited. If an emergency occurs such that the instructor is unable to meet their class, or are running late due to some emergency, the instructor should contact the Winterim Office at (856)225-6098 or email summercm@camden.rutgers.edu so that the Office may inform the students of the situation and provide instructions.

    Usually if an instructor does not appear for their class, the Winterim Office will make all attempts to contact the instructor to find out the situation. If we are unable to contact the instructor after a reasonable period of time, we will take attendance of the students present and dismiss the class, and make a note of the situation in the instructor’s file. So it is important to contact the Office with any problems the instructor has making it to their class.
    Back to top.

    Dealing with students:

    I have a special needs student (blind, deaf, limited access, etc.), what do I do?
    Rutgers is a full service university that does not discriminate based on any disability. All students, regardless of handicap, should be served. The student themselves should have contacted Disabled Student Services to arrange for appropriate assistance, but in the event that they have not, the instructor and the student should contact Nathan Levinson in Disabled Student Services 856-225-6219 on the 2nd Floor of Business and Science Building. Students with disabilities are allowed additional time for exams, are allowed readers or other support persons necessary for them to function within the class within reason. If there are issues with physical access to the room, please contact the Winterim Office at pbutler@crab.rutgers.edu or (856)225-6098 so that we can relocate the class to allow access.
    Back to top.

    A student has stopped attending class. What do I do?
    Functionally nothing. Note the date that the student stopped attending. When submitting a grade for the student, enter the TZ grade (stopped or never attended) for that student with the last date attended in the notes field. If a grade of W appears on the roster, it means the student has already formally withdrawn, and you need take no further action. It is between the student and the Winterim Office to resolve any registration issues.
    Back to top.

    A student has cheated/plagarized work - how do I handle this?
    The full university policy for Academic Integrity may be found at http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/RUCAM/info/Academic-Integrity-Policy.html Basically, the instructor should document the incident as best as they can, and submit all materials to the Campus Judicial Officer in the Office of Student Affairs on the 2nd Floor of Armitage Hall administrative wing. Full procedural instructions may be found at http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/RUCAM/info/academic-integrity-studentcodeproceduresFINAL.pdf.

    A student appears in class but not on my roster - what do I do?
    The student should be referred to the Winterim Office to resolve registration issues. If the student attends any portion of the class, a grade should be assigned on the roster, even if that grade is a TZ (stopped attending). If the student does not appear on the roster when grades are submitted, then whatever information the instructor has on the student should be entered at the end of the roster in the fields provided including the appropriate grade. It is up to the student to resolve any registration issues with the Winterim Office.

    A student appears on my roster, but not in my class - what do I do?
    If a student continues to appear on the roster until the end of the class, but never attends the class, enter a grade of TZ on the roster with a statement “never attended" in the notes section for that student. It is up to the student to resolve any registration issues with the Winterim Office. If a grade of W already appears on the roster, it means the student has withdrawn.

    My section is listed as closed, and another student wants to join. What options are there?
    If the section is listed as closed and additional students want to enter the class, the instructor has several possible options:

    1. Contact the Winterim Office to raise the stop-point for the class. The stop-points for most classes are based on available classroom space and reasonable class size. If the instructor desires to increase the stop-point, they can contact the Winterim Office at (856)225-6098 to have it done.
    2. Allow additional students on a case-by-case basis. The student should fill out a Change of Course form, which the instructor must sign. The form should then be brought to the Winterim Office for a special permission number to add the course.
    3. Tell them no. In some cases it is impossible (such as lab courses) or undesirable to increase the class size past the stop point. It is fully within the power of the instructor to tell students that there is no more room in a class, and the student must seek another option. If there are any problems, contact the Winterim Office at (856)225-6098 for assistance.

    How do I handle Student Surveys?
    In previous semesters, the Student Surveys were distributed as hard copy forms that the students filled out and returned to the Winterim Office. The forms were processed in New Brunswick, and copies were sent back to the departments and to the instructors eventually. Starting in Summer 2009 the Student Surveys were being moved to a purely electronic format. We expect that will be the case for the Winterim 2010. The student will receive information via email as to how to complete the surveys. The Center for Teaching Advancement and Assessment Research website has more detailed information.
