V. P.   DeKalb Technical College

Student Orientation

Each quarter DeKalb Tech invites all new students to attend an orientation session.  Participation in the orientation session has a threefold purpose:

 

1.            To provide students with important general information about DeKalb Tech;

2.            To familiarize students with the campus and its facilities;

3.            To provide an opportunity for students to meet other students.

A DeKalb Tech faculty member will be the primary link students have with the College once they enroll.  Faculty must acquaint students with the offices that may answer questions and provide services for students.

 

Each faculty member should plan and present an orientation session for the first class period. Some items that should be covered are:

 

1.             Provide course outline/syllabus to each student which covers:

a.      Objectives and content of course

b.      Textbook and related material needed by student

c.      Grading and testing procedures

d.      Attendance policy

e.      Work Ethics

2.             Classroom procedures and expectations.

3.             Schedule of class for the quarter with notice of any breaks or holidays.

4.             Safety procedures as applicable and emergency procedures to be followed.
