Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) is dedicated to both
excellence and access. The most important facets of the university's
mission are to offer high quality undergraduate and graduate
programs to a broad spectrum of students and to foster student
growth and development. To these ends, the university attaches
primary importance to excellence in teaching. Since program
quality is enhanced by professional activities beyond the classroom
on the part of the faculty, emphasis is also given to pure and
applied research and to academic and public service.
Unique to Northeastern's mission are the two distinctive features
of diversity and community partnerships. Because of its location
in the Chicago metropolitan area, the university serves a population
which is diverse in age, culture, language, and race. This diversity,
a major asset, means that the academic programs utilize a variety
of perspectives to enrich the teaching and learning experience
and to prepare students for the multiculturalism which characterizes
our society. The university's location also provides students
and faculty with many opportunities to integrate field-based
learning, research, and service with classroom instruction.
Northeastern Illinois University preserves the finest traditions
of university education, augmented by active involvement in
the metropolitan area, on behalf of the residents of Illinois.
As a public institution of higher education, Northeastern
Illinois University is committed to a set of shared values that,
taken collectively, guides our actions and interactions as we
work together to prepare graduates for the responsible exercise
of citizenship. We, the NEIU community, believe it is critical
for our democracy to create a space in which the commitment
to these values results in a thriving educational community
that transforms the lives of all. As we take stock of the present
and look to the future, these values serve as the touchstone
for planning how we will best achieve the educational mission
entrusted to us.
Integrity: NEIU is accountable to those
we serve and to those from whom we receive support. We are committed
to honesty, respect, and transparency in our words and our actions.
In that regard, we work to be good stewards of the resources
we are entrusted to use. This includes human, physical, fiscal,
and environmental resources.
Excellence: In our pursuit of and commitment
to excellence, we value the highest quality of learning and
teaching, scholarship, and service. We value opportunities and
experiences that support personal and professional development
for all members of our community. In all that we say and do,
we are committed to the process and products of excellence.
Access to Opportunity: NEIU values access to
opportunity; we value a welcoming environment which provides
appropriate support as well as encourages mutual responsibility
for and commitment to learning.
Diversity: NEIU values the inclusion of a broad
spectrum of students, staff, and faculty in the life of the
University. We celebrate and foster global perspectives. We
encourage the open and respectful expression of ideas and differences
in thoughts, experiences, and opinions.
Community: As a commuter institution, NEIU has
a special obligation to provide an environment that is supportive,
nurturing, and participatory. Such an environment is characterized
by civility, fostering humanity and engagement, and creates
a sense of community through inclusion, mutual respect, and
empowerment. NEIU values our metropolitan setting as a laboratory
for learning, and we foster partnerships for learning, research,
and service throughout this dynamic region to promote the public
good.
Empowerment Through Learning: NEIU is dedicated
to creating a culture that provides life-long learning opportunities
for all members of the University community. We are especially
committed to transforming students' lives by engaging them in
an educational experience that empowers them to graduate with
the skills and knowledge to become effective leaders and citizens
in their personal and professional lives.
History of the University
See page 4 of Academic Catalog (http://www.collegesource.org/displayinfo/frame.asp?projectid=113628)
Organizational Structure
See page 4 of the Academic Catalog (http://www.collegesource.org/displayinfo/frame.asp?projectid=113628)
You have received a letter from Academic Affairs reminding you
to complete your I-9 requirements upon arrival on campus. Additional
paperwork is filled out during your orientation session with
the Human Resources Benefits Office (Mary Griesinger, x 5202).
This needs to be done within 10 days from the start date of
your contract; otherwise your choices for health, dental, and
retirement plans will be reduced to the automatic default option.
Hiring documents originate in your academic
department and are then processed through Academic Affairs or
Human Resources. All new hires need to verify insurance eligibility
with Mary Griesinger in the Benefits Office.
Academic Catalog
Available in hardcopy, provided to every faculty member, and
online at: www.neiu.edu/Current
Students/Current_Students.html (click on Catalog).
Email Address
Typically, the Administrative Information System (AIS) at University
Computing creates email addresses through an automated management
system. To avoid delays through late hiring forms, Telecommunications
(ext. 4300) has agreed to make an exception and create email
addresses for new faculty once it receives an official list
of new hires and their SS#. The list originates in Academic
Affairs and is passed on to Telecommunications by the Center
for Teaching and Learning.
Keys
The department chair requests new office keys through a memo
(in email, fax, or interoffice mail) to the director of Public
Safety (James C. Lyon). The memo contains the name of the faculty
member or instructor and the room number for the office or offices
to which the key provides access (possibly also the key code,
if known), and a phone extension where the key clerk can contact
the faculty member when the key is ready, usually within a week
from the arrival of the memo. The faculty member then needs
to pick up the key personally, show an ID, and sign for the
receipt of the key.
Novell Network and Computing Accounts
For instructions on getting authorization and passwords for
the Novell network and other campus computing systems, refer
to http://www.neiu.edu/~nds/getting_started.html#email_internet
Office and Phone Number
As soon as an office location has been assigned to a faculty
member by the department chair, Telecommunications can activate
the appropriate phone number and phone mail. Requests for a
phone number and a phone mail account must come from the department.
Parking Permits
Part-time instructors (those having taught no more than
14 hours total at NEIU): If you require a parking permit,
contact your department, which takes care of it for you.
All other faculty: Your cheapest option is payroll
deduction. Go to the payroll department and fill out the paperwork.
They will send you a parking decal. If, for some reason, you
prefer the direct and more expensive approach of a lump sum
payment, go to the Parking
Office: Parking Facility - NE Side, 1ST FLOOR. There, you
will fill out an application (make sure to have standard information
about your vehicle handy, such as license plate number and other
owner info) and write a check for your decal. Level 2 parking
is currently $172.00/semester; Level 1 parking is $318.00/semester,
$637.00/academic year (Fall and Spring), or $707.00/year, incl.
summer. You will need to show some ID for this process.
In case you lose your decal: You need to go to the counter
at the Parking Office and pay a replacement fine.
For daily parking: There is a daily parking kiosk next
to the facilities maintenance building. Daily decals cost $5,
unless purchased in advance through the department with a DPV
for $2.
Permission to Use Human Subjects in Research
Contact the Office of Sponsored Programs ext. 4670. Forms
are available on their website http://www.neiu.edu/~sprogram/
Schedule of Classes
Hard copies are available at the Registrar’s Office and many
other locations across campus. For an electronic version, click
on Schedule of Classes on our home page: www.neiu.edu/Current
Students/Current_Students.html
Search for External Funding
Contact the Office of Sponsored Programs if you plan to look
for a grant or contract. All grants must be approved by the
university before they are submitted. You can reach OSP at
x 4670.
Textbook Orders
Beck’s Bookstore (x 4990) takes requests either by Textbook
Adoption Form, phone, e-mail (M-Small1@neiu.edu),
or fax order. If at all possible, textbooks should be ordered
six weeks before classes start. Instructors’ desk copies should
be ordered from the publisher directly through the department
secretary, who can help with the names and e-mail addresses
to various publishers.
University ID-Card
ID-cards are issued to new employees only after their data
have been entered into the CARS system. This will take place
after you have completed your new hire packet (tax cards, info
form, I-9, etc.) with Academic Affairs. The actual data entering
process takes a few days since two computer systems and three
different offices are involved. Delays in submitting your new
hire packet can make it difficult for you to fulfill all your
instructor functions (e.g., you may have difficulties putting
your course materials on reserve in the library). Once CARS
has generated an ID-number, you can obtain your ID-card on the
same day at the Information Center across from the Bookstore.
For part-time instructors: If you need an ID-card,
talk to either your department or to Academic Affairs (x 5420).
Syllabus and Course Organization
If you are in the College of Education, NCATE standards apply;
if you are in the College of Business, AACSB standards apply.
Some other departments have their internal guidelines for syllabus
and course organization. Syllabi must be on file in the department
office. Any major or academic program has a set of goals and
objectives that a course should reflect in its syllabus and
overall organization. If you are teaching General Education
courses, you are also likely to teach a section or two of a
course that should have coherent objectives across all its sections.
Obtain syllabi from other colleagues who have taught this course
in the recent past. If little or no guidelines exist for your
course, consider the following key components of a good syllabus:
(1) Basic information (about course, instructor, office hours,
etc.) – (2) Student learning outcomes – (3) Course calendar
(with dates for weekly topics and due dates) – (4) Course requirements
(policies re. attendance, participation, academic honesty, etc.)
– (5) Required/recommended reading materials – (6) Grading procedures
(for all graded course activities). The Center for Teaching
& Learning can help with more detailed recommendations for
syllabus and course organization.
Room Assignments
Room changes can be made only through the formal room assignment
process. For example, in the College of Education, faculty
should make sure that the department secretary has made the
change of room request through the Dean’s office (Lois Muldoon).
Room reassignments are done on a first-come-first-serve basis.
A general note: Classrooms that appear to be empty during a
specific time period may actually be on reserve for other uses.
A student or faculty member may need to be located in an emergency,
which requires certain knowledge of where and when a class is
meeting. Academic Affairs (Ana Villate, x 5421) has a list of
all scheduled classes, times, and rooms. An instructor must
not move a class unless a formal request to do so has been processed
through the department office and approval has been granted.
Furniture (chairs and desks) is placed in each classroom according
to the fire code room capacity. Problems with classrooms or
instructional support equipment should be reported to the department
office.
ID-Card Access to Specialized Instructional Space
In order to access specialized instructional space and technology
support areas—such as Technology Enhanced Classrooms (TEC’s)
and the Faculty Resource Center—faculty are required to request
ID-card access via the Academic Affairs Office (Ana Villate,
x 5421). You may do this by providing a photocopy of a current
NEIU ID, listing the department that you are associated with
and identifying the room that is being requested.
Student Grading
See p. 35 of the Academic Catalog: (http://www.collegesource.org/displayinfo/frame.asp?projectid=113628)
For the grade appeals procedure, see Policies and Procedures
in Student Survival Kit: http://www.neiu.edu/~DeanST/survival/grades.pdf.

Office Hours
According to the 2005-2008 Faculty Agreement, “each teaching
professional shall maintain a schedule of at least four office
hours per calendar week spread over at least three days or a
schedule of at least five office hours per calendar week spread
over at least two days. These hours shall be scheduled to allow
reasonable access and shall be posted. If necessary and with
reasonable notice faculty are expected to be accessible to meet
students, other faculty, and staff on days and times other than
those of posted office hours and scheduled classes.”
Available Departmental Services
Every department has its own way of doing business. Ask your
department chair and your departmental secretary about the availability
of services and resources such as: Photocopying, office supplies,
help with book orders, help with media/technology reservation,
etc. For example, some departments use an ID card for xerox
services, and faculty have to get money added to their card
based on department allotment.
Educational Technology
The Center for Teaching and Learning includes staff which provides
the university faculty with training in the use of hardware
and software tools. Its purpose is to aid faculty in the creation
of instructional materials to enhance student learning and retention.
Currently there is a focus on training faculty in the use of
Blackboard, an online course management system that makes
it easy to provide students with electronic syllabi, course
materials, bulletin boards, or whole web-based courses. For
additional technology services, see: http://www.neiu.edu/~ctl/teaching/fac-res-guide.html
or go to the web sites of Academic Computing (Scott Simon, x
4394) http://www.neiu.edu/~deptac/
and Media Services, http://www.neiu.edu/~umsdept/.
Assistance with Instructional Issues
The CTL offers support for full-time and part-time faculty
who want to refine their teaching skills, experiment with new
ideas, or learn about the application of instructional technologies
in their classrooms. Overall, our goal is to offer advice,
resources, and a forum for discussion that will help the university
provide its students with the best education possible.
Activities include:
• Work with incoming faculty and provide
orientation sessions, a mentoring program, and assistance with
the development of professional portfolios

Collective Bargaining Agreement and Faculty Obligations
The faculty contract between the Union and the University,
as well as the general Faculty Employment Obligations, are available
on the Faculty Resources page of the NEIU web site at: http://www.neiu.edu/Faculty_Staff/Faculty
Resources/Faculty_Resources.html
Work Load Assignments and Credit Unit Guidelines
Policies regarding work load and credit units (CU’s), including
CU’s for technology, are available on the Faculty Resources
page of the NEIU web site at: http://www.neiu.edu/Faculty_Staff/Faculty
Resources/Faculty_Resources.html
Add/Drop
Students at Northeastern Illinois University register by using
the Touchtone Telephone Registration System (TTRS). Using a
touchtone telephone, students process their initial registration
and adjust their registration (adding, dropping, or placing
a course on pass/fail).
There are three registration periods:
(1) Advance Registration is held several weeks before
the start of the term. Students are scheduled to register based
on student classification and hours earned. Students who miss
their scheduled time to register may register during the open
period of advance registration.
(2) Late Registration is held three weeks before the
first day of classes.
(3) Change of Registration begins on the second day
of classes and continues for several days. Permission of the
instructor or department is required to register for any class.
Permission is recorded by placing the student on the Authorization
File. Each department has its own procedure for placing students
on the Authorization File. Students still need to call TTRS
to register for the course.
The Schedule of Classes for each term will list the specific
dates for each registration period (see University Calendar
in Schedule of Classes, p. 1-2).
Class Lists
Class Lists are delivered to the appropriate dean's office
after Advance and Late registration. Class lists are delivered
directly to the faculty after Change of Registration and at
the mid point of the semester. Instructors are asked to return
a copy of each class list to the Records Office, indicating
the names of any students who are attending but do not appear
on the list. The Records Office will research the student's
registration and inform the instructor of the student's status
in the course.
It is important to note that students will not be added to
a course unless they officially registered for the course, nor
will a student be dropped from a course unless the student officially
withdrew from the course. Students who do not confirm (pay)
their registration will be dropped from their courses. Specific
details regarding procedures and deadlines will be found in
a memo that accompanies the class lists.
First Class Session Attendance
Instructors may reassign a student’s seat in a class if the
student does not attend the first class session, is late for
the first class session, or neglects to inform the instructor
in advance of the intended absence. Some departments have very
strict regulations about admitting students, class rosters,
and reassignments for no-shows on the first day of class. Faculty
should discuss those procedures with their chair and department
secretaries.
Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes
and examinations. If a student has more than three unexcused
absences (or one per class credit hour), the instructor may
lower the student’s grade, require additional work, and/or impose
other sanctions as appropriate.
Students with Disabilities
See Policies and Procedures in Student Survival Kit: http://www.neiu.edu/~DeanST/survival/disabilities.pdf
Accommodation of Religious Observances
See p. 29 of the Academic Catalog: (http://www.collegesource.org/displayinfo/frame.asp?projectid=113628)
Withdrawals
See University Calendar in Schedule of Classes, p. 2
Academic Integrity and Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct is an offense against the University. Acts
of academic misconduct include but are not limited to:
1. Cheating. Use or attempted use of any unauthorized
assistance in taking an exam, test, quiz, or other assignment.
(Please note: cheating on exams includes all required University,
state, and/or national assessment exams.)
2. Encouraging Academic Dishonesty. Intentionally or
knowingly helping or attempting to persuade and/or influence
another to violate the University’s rules, policies, and regulations
governing academic integrity.
3. Fabrication. Deliberate falsification or design of
any material or excerpt in an academic assignment or exercise.
4. Plagiarism. Appropriation or imitation of the language,
ideas, and thoughts of another author and representation of
them as one’s original work. This includes (1) paraphrasing
another’s ideas or conclusions without acknowledgement; (2)
lifting of entire paragraphs, chapters, etc. from another’s
work; and (3) submission as one’s own work, any work prepared
by another person or agency.
If the student’s observed conduct or apparent behavior is such
as to lead to suspicion of academic misconduct, the faculty
member in whose course the alleged infraction occurred may adjust
the grade downward (including F - failure) for the test, paper,
or course, or other course related activity in question. In
such instances the faculty member shall notify the student,
the Department/Unit Head, and the Office of the Dean of Students
of the reason for such action in writing. The student has the
right to appeal the grade (see Grade Appeal Policy).
If the faculty member in whose course the alleged infraction
occurred perceives the alleged act of academic misconduct as
warranting additional or other action (beyond adjusting the
grade downward for the test, paper, or course or other course
related activity in question), she/he shall file a complaint
with the University Examiner to initiate the Student Conduct
Code procedure. NOTE: Should this procedure be used, and should
there be a formal hearing, the Judicial Hearing Officer, Office
of the Dean of Students, shall notify in writing the appropriate
Chair and Dean in writing of the outcome.
Privacy Rights
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974
protects the privacy of student records. “Education records”
are those records which are directly related to a student and
maintained by the institution. The Act provides students the
right to inspect and review education records, the right to
seek to amend those records, and to limit disclosure of information
from the records. Exceptions from that right include: Records
of parents’ financial status; medical and psychological records;
and certain documents that carry waivers signed by the student.
Students may also restrict the release of directory information
(e.g., student’s name, address, phone number, dates of attendance,
enrollment status, level, major, campus e-mail address, date
and place of birth, etc.). Student records are open to members
of the currently employed University faculty and staff who have
a legitimate need to know their contents. The determination
of a “legitimate need to know” will be made by the person responsible
for the maintenance of the record. Education records will be
released to third parties only by the Vice President for Student
Affairs, the Director of Financial Aid, or the Director of Admissions
and Records. The same principles of confidentiality must be
applied to electronic data as apply to paper documents. For
further information regarding FERPA, please refer to the University
Catalog or contact Alice Medenwald, Registrar.
Sexual Harassment
see Policies and Procedures in Student Survival Kit: http://www.neiu.edu/~DeanST/survival/equal_opp.pdf
Emergencies/Class Cancellation
An emergency may arise that would cause an instructor to miss
class. In such an instance, the department chairperson must
be notified as quickly as possible. If the chairperson is not
available, leave a message with the department secretary. If
neither of them can be reached (e.g., in the case of an early-morning
or weekend class), contact Public Safety (x 4100). It is important
that someone make arrangements to notify the class of the instructor’s
absence or to have another faculty member teach the class.
If illness or injury is expected to cause an extended absence,
please discuss the details with the department chairperson.
Forms for filing sick reports are available from the department
secretary.
Accessing Your Office after Hours
In the evenings and on weekends, university buildings are usually
locked. If you need to access your office after hours, you
will have to go to Public Safety on the northeast corner of
the campus, sign in, and show an ID. An officer will then meet
you at the building in which your office is located.
Course Evaluation
Consult the Department Application of Criteria (DAC) document
of your department.
Final Examinations
See University Calendar in Schedule of Classes, p. 2, and the
detailed Final Exam Schedule at the back of the Schedule of
Classes.
Final Grade Sheets
Final grade sheets are delivered to instructors approximately
two weeks before grades are due (except during the Summer sessions).
Instructors are asked to contact the Records Office if grade
sheets are not received by the week before grades are due.
Tips on Completing and Submitting Grade Sheets
• Grades sheets must be completed by using a #2 pencil.
• If you need to make a correction, erase the error completely
and place your initials next to the student's name, not
in the area where the grade bubbles are.
• A grade must be assigned for each student regardless
of the student's attendance.
• Instructors may not assign a "W" grade.
This grade is for students who officially withdrew from the
course.
• An "I" grade can only be assigned if accompanied
by an Incomplete Removal Contract. These forms are available
in each of the dean's offices. Some courses are exempt from
this policy. Please see your department chair for a list of
these courses.
The Incomplete Removal Contract must include a grade-to-date
of A, B, C, D, or F. This grade is used to determine if the
"I" grade will become a permanent "I", or
will be changed to an "F" if the work is not completed
by the deadline. The "I" will become permanent if
the grade-to-date was an A, B, or C. The "I" will
be changed to an "F" if the grade-to-date was a D
or F.
The department chair and the student should sign the Incomplete
Removal Contract. If either one is unavailable, the Contract
will be accepted. The original copy is submitted with the final
grade sheet when grades are submitted. It is the responsibility
of the instructor or the department to distribute the other
copies.
• The instructor or the department chair must submit
the grades in person. No one else is authorized to submit grades.
• Do not add or cross off any names on the grade sheet.
Any discrepancies should be brought to the attention of the
Admissions and Records staff member collecting grades.
• Grades submitted after the deadline may not be processed
in time for them to be reflected on the student's grade report
form. In the absence of a grade the grade report form will
reflect an X, which indicates that the grade was not submitted.
Students will be informed to contact the instructor or department
chair for information regarding their grade.
Specific details regarding procedures and deadlines will be
found in the memo that accompanies the final grade sheets.
Grade Audit
Approximately two months after the end of a semester faculty
will be sent a printout of the grades they submitted for the
past semester. They are asked to verify that each grade is
correct and to contact the Records Office if there are any discrepancies.
Questions regarding any of the above procedures can be referred
to Alice Medenwald, Registrar at extension 4029.
Incompletes
See p. 36 of the Academic Catalog: (http://www.collegesource.org/displayinfo/frame.asp?projectid=113628)
Posting of Grades
Students’ privacy rights do not allow you to publicly post
their grades (on doors or bulletin boards) under their name
or social security number, not even part of the SS#. The only
legal way to post grades publicly is to ask students for a personal
identifier that you then use in your posts. Note, however,
that final grades are now available online, and Blackboard
provides a secure grade-book feature that allows students to
check on their course standing any time of the day. For more
information on confidentiality issues, call Alice Medenwald
at x 4029.
Grade Changes
