ACADEMIC SENATE “101”

Agenda Packets

You can expect to receive the agenda packet by the Friday before the meeting, or at the beginning of the meeting week.  The inter-campus envelope will be stamped “AGENDA” in red.  If you do not receive your agenda packet, or if your address label is incorrect, please let us know.

In addition to the paper agenda packet, you will receive the agenda, via email, without the attachments. You will receive the e-mail before you receive your materials in the campus mail.

Materials distributed with the agenda generally pertain to the items on the agenda. Items distributed for a first reading are not redistributed for the second reading. Please retain the materials distributed for the first reading and bring them to the subsequent meeting.

Meeting Handouts

As you enter the Towner Auditorium, PSY-150, you will want to check the shelves for any additional handouts for the meeting.  The minutes of the previous meeting are often distributed at this time if they have not been distributed with the agenda.

Absences

Please call or e-mail the Academic Senate Office if you cannot attend a meeting. The Senate’s policy is that after three consecutive absences you are sent a memo regarding your attendance.

Resignations

If you are not able to continue serving on the Academic Senate, please inform the Academic Senate Office so that we may request a replacement from your College. The Colleges often have elected alternates in place.
