SPECIAL LEARNING NEEDS
The Center for Learning is located in Lower Moyer, (206) 281-2654 for students who have specific learning disabilities. There is also tutoring available to students through this office.

STUDENT NEEDS
Service to all our students is important to us. Please make an effort to learn your students' names, to return papers and tests in a timely manner, and to be available to them outside of class time. The rewards for your efforts will be positive.

SYLLABUS
The purpose of the syllabus is to provide clear communication about the goals and direction of the course and to formalize communication between the instructor and students in regard to academic and logistical expectations. This essential component to the academic experience, if clearly and carefully written, will enable the University to support the adjunct faculty if a concern or dispute arises from the participants. Please provide a copy of your syllabus to the AA in your office.

A course syllabus is a contract with students and must include:
1) course title, number, quarter, dates, location and number of credits;
2) department and university mission statements;

3) your name, telephone number and office hours;
4) required and recommended textbooks and resources;
5) evaluation procedures and grading criteria (very important);
6) course assignments and expectations;
7) dates for final course requirements submission and final exam; and

• Academic Integrity
