History and Mission:

Rutgers-Camden is one of the three campuses of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, which was founded in 1766. This campus dates from the 1920s, when a group of interested citizens established the South Jersey Law School and the College of South Jersey. Those entities became part of the Rutgers system in 1950.

At present, Rutgers-Camden is a comprehensive campus with a broad range of undergraduate and graduate educational opportunities for a diverse and expanding group of students. Undergraduate programs of high quality, post-baccalaureate programs, distinguished graduate and professional education, and the creation of Research Centers and Service Initiatives focused on the campus's areas of expertise lie at the core of the vision for this campus.

The overarching mission of the units that comprise the Faculty of Arts and Sciences is both to be and be recognized as the premier public institution of higher learning in the region. Within that broad mission, each academic unit has a distinct purpose and set of goals.

· The College of Arts and Sciences provides excellent undergraduate liberal arts, professional, and pre-professional education; focuses on the value of a liberal arts education as preparation for lifelong learning; prepares students for graduate study and for the changing workplace of the twenty-first century; and provides opportunities in research guided by faculty members.

· The Graduate School provides outstanding programs to meet the intellectual and professional needs of people throughout the Delaware Valley and Southern New Jersey region and offers nationally recognized graduate programs.  The Graduate School hopes to expand over the next decade by developing additional Master’s programs and adding selected Ph.D. programs.  It also seeks to increase collaborations with other institutions in the region.

· University College offers undergraduate programs of study, both on and off-campus, to adult part-time students whose responsibilities do not allow for full-time study during the day. Over the next decade, we expect to transform University College to meet the changing needs of adult learners.
 

College and Campus Structure:
The three Arts and Sciences divisions of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences – the College of Arts and Sciences, University College, and the Graduate School – together constitute the largest and most diverse academic units at the Camden Campus. The College of Arts and Sciences educates full-time undergraduate students in more than twenty-five majors; University College offers seven majors to part-time adult learners taking evening courses; and the Graduate School has nine programs for post-baccalaureate students earning Master’s Degrees.

The campus is also home to the Law School and the School of Business.  Interim Chancellor Margaret Marsh presides over the entire campus, while a dean leads each major academic division.  Michael Palis serves this year as Interim Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School, while Rayman Solomon heads the Law School and Mitchell Koza is Dean of the School of Business.

See http://www-camden.rutgers.edu/chancellor/index.htm for information about the Chancellor’s Cabinet.

Mailbox and Photocopying:
Your departmental secretary will provide you with information about where you can pick up your mail as well as the procedures to be followed for requesting photocopies of materials for class use.

Further information about the program and a schedule of upcoming workshops can be found at its website: http://idt.camden.rutgers.edu/index.htm. You can contact Emily Corse, the program director, at corse@camden.rutgers.edu or x6474.

Support for Smart Classrooms:

Support for smart classrooms and mobile equipment requests are managed by RUCS (Rutgers University Computing Services). We have more than thirty smart classrooms available for Arts and Sciences classes. These classrooms have either a PC built into a podium or a wall-mounted unit to which you can connect a notebook computer. All smart classrooms contain a VCR and several have DVD players available. Information about the specific equipment available in individual classrooms as well as instruction for equipment use can be found at: http://computing.camden.rutgers.edu/smartclass/index.php. If you plan to use mobile audio, video, or projection equipment in your class, you should request that equipment by using the web-based form available at the RUCS website: http://rucs.camden.rutgers.edu/smartclass/MobileEquipmentRequestForm.html .

Ordering Textbooks:
Textbooks can be ordered through the campus bookstore.  The bookstore may be contacted by rutgers561@bkstr.com or phone: 856/225-6006.  Texts may also be ordered online, but you must have a bookstore-supplied password to access the site.
Teaching:

You should discuss your teaching responsibilities with your department chair, who will provide you with information about specific departmental or course guidelines and policies. In general, you should provide each student with a syllabus, which should include: basic course information as well as class meeting times and location; contact information for you (including office hours, appointment procedures, email, office phone number, home/cell phone number [this information should be provided only if you wish to give such access to students]); goals and/or objectives of the course; list of textbooks and other reading materials; a clearly delineated schedule of assignments and due dates; class meeting dates; and policies regarding grading, participation, academic integrity and attendance for class and exams. You should make clear your expectations for the class during your first meeting.

Class rosters will be provided to you through your department. In addition, the departmental secretary can arrange for you to have online access to rosters. Once those arrangements have been made, you can access that information from the Registrar’s Office at: http://registrar.rutgers.edu/CM/FACULTY1.HTM. Partway through the semester, you will be asked to submit warning grades, as appropriate, for poor course attendance and/or poor academic performance. Final grades can also be submitted online, once you have appropriate access.

Be sure to keep careful records of class attendance and grades.

back to top
Academic Integrity:

Students must understand the importance of integrity and honesty in their academic work. Be sure to discuss with them possible violations of academic integrity and how to avoid them. You should instruct students about the appropriate methods for citing materials in any work they produce for your class.

Violations of academic integrity may include: cheating (the use of inappropriate and unacknowledged materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise); fabrication (the falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise); facilitating academic dishonesty (when students knowingly or negligently allow their work to be used by other students or who otherwise aid others in academic dishonesty); plagiarism (the representation of the words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic exercise); and denying others access to information or material.

If you suspect a student of violating the campus academic integrity policy, you should report that violation to the campus Judicial Officer, who is in the Dean of Students Office in the Office of Student Affairs. Please note that students may continue to participate in a course or research activities until the case has been adjudicated. Under no circumstances should a student be offered a choice of either dropping a course or facing disciplinary action. A grade of TZ should be assigned, pending resolution of this matter, and no penalties should be imposed until this complaint is resolved.

The full version of our Academic Integrity Policy and related materials can be found at: http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/RUCAM/Academic-Integrity-Policy.php. Please note that the University is in the process of modifying this policy. Updated information will be made available on the website.

back to top
Grading:

Grades should be used to evaluate student performance in light of the stated objectives for the class. Be sure to indicate how students will be graded and the value of various assignments and examinations in your syllabus. The following grades are used for undergraduates in Arts and Sciences: A (Outstanding), B+ (Intermediate), B (Good), C+ (Intermediate), C (Satisfactory), D (Poor), and F (Failing). Information about other grade symbols and when they should be used can be found at: http://registrar.rutgers.edu/CM/UNDERGRADING.HTM.

You should discuss departmental standards for grading with your department chair. In addition, according to the Camden Undergraduate Catalog, the “classroom, studio, or laboratory instructor has the responsibility for the assignment of grades. Complaints about a grade must be directed to the instructor in writing, within ten working days of its assignment. Disputes unresolved at this level are referred, in writing, to the appropriate department chairperson. Complaints remaining unresolved at this level should be directed, in writing, to the dean of the appropriate college.”

Final Examinations:
If a final exam is given in a course, it must be given in the scheduled exam period, which is published in the class and hour schedule each semester. It may not be given during the last week of class or during the reading period.
Evaluation:
Student evaluations for each class are conducted each semester through the Teaching Excellence Center. In addition, department chairs and/or other tenured faculty may observe your class from time to time. Such evaluations and observations can provide useful information about teaching techniques and effectiveness.
Teachning Matters Program:
In order to encourage, sustain, and inculcate excellence in teaching within Arts and Sciences, we have established the Teaching Matters Program. A full-time faculty member directs the program in conjunction with an advisory board. The program's responsibilities include: developing programs and events through which faculty could discuss issues related to teaching, including the use of instructional technology; developing, collecting, and making available web-based and other resources regarding the theory and practice of learning and teaching; gathering information about curricular issues related to teaching and learning across the College; and in conjunction with appropriate colleagues, identifying and pursuing grant opportunities related to the enhancement of teaching and learning across the College. More information about Teaching Matters and its programs can be found at its website: http://teachingmatters.camden.rutgers.edu.
Inclement Weather:
It is the general policy of the University not to cancel regularly scheduled classes because of weather conditions. In most cases, therefore, of emergencies that disrupt local transportation facilities or create personal problems, students and faculty members should make decisions as to attendance that appear appropriate to them in their particular circumstances. However, there are instances where especially adverse and hazardous road conditions make it impossible to travel and to conduct academic activities at the campus. On these infrequent occasions appropriate announcements will be made over KYW (1060 AM), an area radio station. The following code numbers will identify the campus: 605 --Day Session classes (8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) and 2605 -- Evening Session classes (6:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.). Information about campus closings will also be posted on the campus home page: http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/.
Class Absence Policy for Faculty:

Faculty members are expected to meet with their classes at all of the scheduled time periods. If a faculty member is ill and must be absent from class, the faculty member must contact the department chairperson so that coverage of the class can be arranged.
Ordinarily faculty members should not miss more than one half of one week's classes in the course of a semester.

Except in instances of illness, faculty members are expected to meet with their scheduled classes. A faculty member who believes that he/she cannot meet with regularly scheduled classes for reasons other than this should seek approval from the department chairperson for both absence from class and the alternative arrangements for coverage of the missed classes.

Policy Prohibiting Harassment:
Rutgers is committed to maintaining a diverse academic, work and living environment free from harassment based on an individual’s race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, and marital or veteran status. The university requires that all students, faculty, and staff adhere to the law and university policies aimed at preventing harassment and discrimination. Faculty members should acquaint themselves with appropriate procedures for the referral and assistance of a student or employee concerned about harassment. The policy and complaint process can be found on the web page of the Office of University Harassment Compliance at: http://uhr.rutgers.edu/uhce/index.html. The Office can also be contacted by phone at 732-445-3020 (x626).
Confidentiality:

Rutgers complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA affords students certain rights with respect to their education records, including the right to inspect and review those education records and the right to request amendment of education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading.
Rutgers shall obtain the prior consent of the student before disclosing personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, EXCEPT to the extent FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

There are a number of exceptions to the general rule prohibiting disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records without prior consent of the student. Some common exceptions used by Rutgers include disclosure to Rutgers officials with legitimate educational interest in the records being sought and the release of student directory information. More details from the University Policy can be obtained from the Office of Compliance, Student Policy, and Judicial Affairs at their web site: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~polcomp/ferpa2.shtml.

Faculty members should take care to protect student confidentiality. For example, do not publish or display lists of students by social security number, do not list grades publicly by name or social security number or publish grades on a web site or an email list, and do not leave student papers or exams for pickup outside your office. All papers, exams, and other graded materials should be kept securely in your possession until picked up by students or mailed to them in a self-addressed, stamped envelope provided by the student.
