The non-physician Surgical First Assistant (SFA) provides aid in exposure, hemostasis and other technical functions that will help the surgeon carry out a safe operation with optimal results for the patients. These activities will be performed only as delegated tasks under the direct and immediate supervision of the responsible surgeon. For more detailed information and application process, see: http://www.delta.edu/programs/current/healthcare/surgical/surgical-first-assistant/certificate/index.html https://sites.delta.edu/collegeinfo/Academics/Divisions/SitePages/Surgical%20First%20Assistant.aspx In June of 1980, the American College of Surgeons issued a statement acknowledging the fact that physician assistants for surgical procedures was becoming impractical due to insurance reimbursements and physician time demands. This contributed to a growing demand for competent, trained, capable nonphysician assistants who were essentially surgical technologists, operating room nurses, and physician assistants. In 1990, the Association of Surgical Technologists recognized this new role for surgical technologists and responded to the need for more standardized and formal education of this professional. A curriculum committee was formed and a job description for the surgical first assistant was published. This was followed by the Core Curriculum for Surgical First Assisting first published in 1993. The Delta Surgical First Assisting program is built on the 3rd edition of the Core Curriculum published in 2014. Mission Statement It is the mission of the Delta College’s Surgical First Assistant Program to provide quality education to health care professionals in order to prepare its graduates to be competent entry level surgical first assistants in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains.” Program Outcomes: Outcome 1: Demonstrate clinical competence. Outcome 2: Exhibit strong ethical behaviors. Outcome 3: Describe the value of diversity related to the workplace setting. Outcome 4: Demonstrate the ability to make independent clinical judgments within the limits of the surgical assistant’s responsibilities. Outcome 5: Demonstrate effective communication skills for the practice setting. Outcome 6: Demonstrate appropriate critical thinking skills to formulate logical conclusions from the analysis of data. A Post Associate Certificate of Completion The role varies with the surgical operation, specialty area, and type of facility. Clinical skills are performed under the direct supervision of the surgeon. Through a combination of lecture, laboratory, and clinical practice, this four-semester program is designed to enable students to develop the knowledge and skills required to perform as a surgical first assistant. Upon granting of accreditation to the program, graduates will be able to sit for the certifying examination administered by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA) to obtain the title of Certified First Assistant. The surgical first assistant program will be a Hybrid program of online courses designed for the full time working certified surgical technologist with a one-week face to face lab in the fall semester. The third semester and fourth semesters will consist of the ST completing their clinical case requirements and a one credit online capstone course. Clinicals are commonly completed at the facility the student is currently employed or a site can be obtained by the program. The program will utilize the surgical technology classroom and lab that consists of two operating rooms, a central core, a clean supply and sterile processing area. The anatomy course will have access to a 3D anatomy table in lieu of using human cadavers. The student may also be required to attend class at a local hospital to complete required competencies. Requirements for Surgical Assisting Students 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Students must possess current CPR through American Heart Association. Students must provide verification of Hepatitis B inoculation or refusal thereof. Students must provide verification of a negative TB test or negative chest x ray. Students are required to carry liability insurance of at least $1,000,000. Students are encouraged to carry an active health-hospitalization insurance policy. Students must supply own transportation to clinical sites. Students are responsible for obtaining their clinical site and preceptor. Standards for Progression and Graduation 1. Surgical Assistant students must achieve a minimum grade of C in each course in the Surgical Assistant curriculum as a prerequisite for continuance in the program. Failure to meet this requirement will result in withdrawal of the student from the program. 2. Clinical experience is evaluated by the physician preceptor as “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory” performance based upon criteria established by the program. If an unsatisfactory is received, the student has one more opportunity to repeat that specialty with another physician. If the second unsatisfactory is received, a failing grade is given for that course. 3. Students who receive a failing grade in the coursework will be eligible to reapply one time for readmission to the Surgical Assistant Program and must repeat the failed course successfully. 4. An application for readmission to the program following withdrawal will be evaluated on an individual basis by the program coordinator. 5. Students may only be readmitted to the program one time. If unsuccessful in the second attempt, students cannot be readmitted to the program. Refer to the re-entry policy for all Health Science Courses. 6.

PROGRESSION POLICY This course consists of 24 credit hours, which provide the student with the knowledge, and skills required entering the field as a Surgical First Assistant in accordance with the American Medical Association and the Association of Surgical First Assistants guidelines. The program is three semesters in length. Ten credit hours are devoted to clinical experience where a minimum of 140 cases in defined specialties must be performed in the Surgical First Assistant role. The student must: Meet all College requirements Meet all program admission requirements Complete all coursework with a grade of “C” or better Successfully complete all coursework in semester I before progressing to semester II Successfully complete all coursework in semester II before completing the program Complete the minimum number of cases as required with satisfactory evaluations by a physician preceptor LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY Assignments are due the date stated when they are assigned. A 10% reduction in grade per day will be assessed for each late day. Scheduled quizzes must be made up before the next scheduled exam or no points will be given (zero). It is the student's responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor for any missed quiz/exam. If an excused absence is presented, the assignment is due the next class period attended. An assignment four class days late will not be accepted and a score of zero (0) will be given. If class does not meet on a particular day, but the college is in session that day, the student is expected to hand in the assignment by bringing it to the instructor’s office. ATTENDANCE Regular attendance is expected of all Delta Community College students. It is important that students receive a sufficient number of hours in instruction for theory, lab practice for skills, and clinical cases for experience. It is recognized that Surgical First Assistant students are often working full-time in the field. There may be extenuating circumstances which result in absences or tardiness. These will be reviewed on an individual basis and acted upon by the program coordinator. If lectures are missed, the student is responsible for all notes and handouts. If lab activities are missed, they must be made up and successfully completed. A minimum of 140 cases in the specified surgical areas are required for program completion. The student will not graduate until all requirements are completed. INCIDENTS If an accidental injury occurs at the clinical site, as getting stuck with a bloody needle, hospital procedure should be followed. Standard procedure would include: 1. Report the injury immediately to the preceptor or circulator. 2. Break scrub if at all possible after obtaining permission from your preceptor. 3. Thoroughly wash the area and apply antiseptic. 4. Some hospitals may have you go to their Emergency Room, depending on how severe the injury and the policy. 5. Report this to the program instructor as soon as possible and obtain a copy of the incident report from the hospital. 6. The hospital will ask the patient for permission to obtain an HIV test. 7. You may also need to obtain a blood test at your own expense. 8. All costs incurred which the hospital does not cover are the responsibility of the student. PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY Students are allowed access to patient medical records and privileged information. With this privilege comes the responsibility for maintaining patient confidentiality. 1. Medical records may not be removed from a patient care area or from the Medical Records department at any time. 2. Medical records may not be reproduced at any time without proper permission from the patient, the facility, the doctor, and the instructor. 3. Patient information is to be kept in the strictest confidence at all times. 4. Surgical schedules are not to be removed from the hospital. BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY IS GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL FROM THE SFA PROGRAM. PATIENTS, THEIR PROCEDURES, AND THEIR PHYSICIANS ARE NOT TO BE DISCUSSED. GRADING POLICY Course grading is determined by the total of all student assignment points, divided by the total of all points possible. This gives a percentage total which translates into the following grades: 92 –100 = A 90 – 91 = A87 – 89 = B+ 83 – 86 = B 80 – 82 = B78 – 79 = C+ 75 – 77 = C Under 75 = F Incomplete = I An "I" grade is given only when an emergency prevents a student from completing course work during the regular session. IT is the student's responsibility to arrange in writing with the instructor for the completion of the "I" grade before that grade is assigned. Course grades are determined by quizzes, assignments, and examinations. All assignment and examination dates will be announced by the instructor in advance. Quizzes may or may not be announced in advance. If a student experiences any difficulty mastering competencies, he/she is expected to seek assistance from the instructor. Each student is expected to keep his/her own grades throughout all coursework. If there is any question as to progress in the course, the student must contact the instructor. The student will be formally notified of grade averages at midterm and also at the end of the semester. Students are expected to submit their own work. Evidence of plagiarism, copying, or any form of cheating will result in forfeiture of the grade for the work and/or formal disciplinary action as set forth by College policy. Guidelines for Reentry into Health Occupation Programs Reentry Process A request for reentry can be made if the student has had a course failure or has withdrawn from a program track and the student is in their second or subsequent semester of the program. The request for reentry should be made within one month of the course failed or withdrawn from or at the latest one month after the grade is transcripted. The student must apply in writing and may choose to attend the meeting to address the Reentry/Review Board. If reentry is granted the student must reenter the program within one year or the student is no longer eligible for reentry, and must revalidate for the program unless the Reentry/Review Board determines that a different time period is appropriate. Placement into a program course will be determined by Review Board decision and if the number of reentry students exceeds course availability then placement is determined by the date and time that the Review Board form is received back into the Health & Wellness Division Office. No Review Board form can be received until withdrawal from a course has been made or an official grade has been issued by the instructor at the end of the course. If, after reentry, a second failure should occur, the student cannot apply for reentry nor can he/she revalidate for the same program. However, he/she can attempt to validate for a different program. The Reentry/Review Board will meet within 30 days of a student’s request for reentry. Reentry/Review Board Membership The Reentry/Review Board shall have the following membership: Faculty Chair – 3-year term Faculty Alternate Chair – 3-year term who will become Chair and preside over situations where the Chair is involved. Discipline Faculty or Alternate – Non-involved full-time discipline faculty member will be selected, or a full-time division member will be selected by the faculty, of the involved discipline, if all discipline faculty are involved. Student Representative or Alternate – Students in each program will elect a representative and an alternate in case the student representative in involved. Division Member At-Large – Pool of 3 division members appointed by the division chair will rotate based on availability at the designated meeting time. Counselor The following five (5) members shall vote: Board Chair or Alternate Discipline Faculty or Alternate Student Representative or Alternate Division Member Counselor Reentry Decision A decision will be made by the Reentry/Review Board at the conclusion of their meeting(s). Students will be notified within two weeks by email and certified mail of the decision. Decisions denying reentry must have rationale, in writing, for the denial. A copy of the Reentry/Review Board’s decision will be sent to the division chair. Individual Plan for Success If the Reentry/Review Board approves reentry, the Board will also develop an Individual Plan For Success (IPFS) which will be given to the student as part of the reentry process. The IPFS will be discussed with the student by the Program Coordinator or designee. All conditions of the IPFS, which focuses on student success, must be met in order to continue in the program tracks and cannot be appealed. It should be noted that reentry into a program is based on space availability since our program tracks have limited enrollment capacities. Appeal Process A student may appeal the Reentry/Review Board’s decision if new or pertinent information becomes available that was not considered in the initial request. The faculty, division chair or dean can request with supporting rationale. Submission of a written appeal to the Reentry/Review Board should be made within 30 days of the initial decision. The Reentry/Review Board Chair or Alternate Chair will then schedule a meeting within two weeks. The original Reentry/Review Board members will meet for the purpose of reviewing the appeal. The Board will notify the appellant of their decision by email and certified mail. An appeal decision cannot be further disputed in this process. Confidentiality Statement All participants of the Reentry/Review Board process, in any of the proceedings, should consider all matters covered in the meetings as confidential due to the nature of the situations and discussions that follow to resolve them. Any breach of confidentiality may lead to disciplinary action, according to College policy. Note To assure continuity in the reentry process all H&W disciplines must have policies in place, within their student handbooks, that follow these minimum guidelines. If no discipline specific policy exists then these guidelines as outline will be used within the H&W Division. The Division Chair must review an alternate Reentry/Review Process to assure consistency.

All courses require a "C" (2.0) minimum grade. B. Due to limited capacity of the clinical facilities SPT l10 & SPT 112 are limited enrollment. Students must complete BIO 101W, or BIO140W, ENG 111, HSC 105, and LWT 170, or equivalents, preferably prior to enrolling in SPT 110 & SPT 112. C. Prior to beginning SPT I12 you are required to complete health requirements including, but not limited to: A) a completed Student Physical Examination Form; B) current CPR Certification for the Healthcare Provider/Professional Rescuer certification; C) a successful ten (10) panel drug screen by the approved agency; D) an annual TB skin test or chest x-ray if required; E) Immunization Records including MMR, Td/Tdap, Varicella, and Hepatitis B or signe d waiver; F) an annual flu shot. Submission is required via an electronic storage and clinical placement system. All certifications and immunizations must be up-to-date and remain current throughout the program. D. All students are required to complete a Criminal Background Check with the approved agency prior to SPT112. Background check results may affect clinical placement and eligibility for the CRCST examination and should be discussed prior to validation. E. In addition to tuition, fees, and textbook costs students should plan for the following expenses: immunizations & CPR certification renewal if needed to meet health requirements, background check, drug screen, ACEMAPP registration, appropriate clinic attire including shoes, protective eyewear, and name tags. F. You are responsible for providing your own transportation to and from clinical sites and possible parking fees. You must have transportation available, as sites may not be in your community. Program-Entry Health/Certification Requirements It is your responsibility to maintain current health and certification records while in the Sterile Processing Program. The following documentation must be supplied to the Program Coordinator before you can enter any clinical facility. Any student who is not in compliance with these regulations may be denied entrance to the clinical facilities. You are required to utilize ACE MAPPS for accumulation of the listed information and you are responsible for any associated fees. Physical Examination You must submit a physical examination report, current within a year of expected program completion, confirming that you can perform all duties necessary for the delivery of safe instrumentation to the operating room. Sterile Processing personnel must be able to work without any restrictions or limitations. TB Skin Test You must provide confirmation of a negative TB skin test and/or a chest X-ray and a current physical examination which confirms that you are free from communicable disease. Hepatitis B Vaccine, MMR and Tetanus Proof of Hepatitis B immunization must be submitted, or you must submit a signed waver form. When the vaccination series is complete, you should have a blood titer verifying that the immunization has been effective. For persons born after 1957, immunization for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) is strongly recommended. (If MMR documentation is unable to be obtained, a high rubella titer report can be substituted.) Tetanus (Td) immunization within the last ten years is also strongly recommended. CPR Certification You must provide a copy of your current CPR certification, which must include the Two Person Rescuer Technique. Student health records generally are discarded one year after graduation from the program, with the exception of the Hepatitis B immunization record. Please keep a copy of your health records for your portfolio and future job-related documentation. Physical Standards for Delta College's Sterile Processing Program 1. Must be free of reportable communicable diseases and chemical abuse. 2. Must be able to walk and stand without assistive devices. 3. Must be able to stand in one place for prolonged periods of time, possibly up to 6 or 8 hours. 4. Must be able to independently lift up to 50 pounds. 5. Must be able to detect odors related to environmental safety. 6. Vision must be 20/30 or better, with or without corrective lenses and while wearing safety glasses. 7. Must have a functional knowledge of English sufficient to be able to understand and communicate in verbal language and to be able to read and interpret written instructions or information. 8. Hearing must fall within normal ranges, with or without corrective aids, to be able to detect activation/warning signals on equipment and to be able to understand muffled communication within 20 feet without visualization of the communicator's mouth/lips. 9. Must be able to respond quickly to verbal orders and requests. 10. Must be able to assemble delicate instruments and equipment. 11. Must possess short- and long-term memory sufficient to perform tasks such as, but not limit ed to, locating surgical supplies and answering phone calls from the floor and operating room. 12. Must demonstrate calm and effective responses and the use of positive coping skills under stress, especially in emergency situations. Students must maintain the level of mental and physical stability which will ensure their safe, competent functioning in the classroom and clinical settings. You must notify the Program Coordinator of any significant temporary or permanent change in physical or mental health status. A written statement from your healthcare provider regarding these changes may be required, and these changes may impact your ability to complete course/clinical objectives. Latex Allergy Each student in a health career program must be aware that if they have an allergy to latex. Although the program and most clinical sites are latex free, some may still have latex on site. Please let program faculty know if you have a latex allergy. Pregnancy Policy If you are or think you might become pregnant during your participation in this program, you should notify the Program Coordinator. Working in the Decontamination area can expose you to potential teratogenic agents, and we will need to discuss these risks and your options. A written statement from your healthcare provider regarding approved activity and any limitations may be required. These limitations may impact your ability to complete course/clinical objectives on time, but you are protected under Title Nine. You are able to request a copy of Title Nine protections to fully understand your rights as a pregnantstudent. Random Drug Testing Clinical facilities have the right to require random drug testing on all students who are assigned to that facility for their clinical experiences. A positive result will generally result in the student being denied access to clinical practice in that facility (and possibly in any other facility, which could impact your ability to complete the program's clinical requirements). Student Background Check All students entering the professional part of the curriculum will have background checks conducted. This is required prior to the start of fall courses. If you know you have a felony conviction, no clinic al site will accept you and you will not be able to success fully complete the program. Disabilities If you feel that you have an issue related to a disability that will require extraaccommodation beyond that given to all students (see the College Catalogue), please contact the Director of Disability Services at 686 -9332. Smoking Electronic cigarettes are a form of treatment in breaking the habit from tobacco cigarettes. Since the electronic cigarette simulates smoking and we would not allow smoking in our classrooms or hallways the use of the electronic cigarette would be treated similarly to our tobacco policy. Students should not be simulating smoking in the classroom or hallways. The preferred place toe-smoke is in their vehicle. E-cigarettes do contain carcinogens and toxic materials and so that is the basis for not allowing it within the building. Furthermore, many hospitals around the country are now requiring new employee's to be tested for tobacco. If you test positive, you will not be allowed to work at their facility! Exposure or Incident Report Students who experience an incident (fall), or exposure to any potentially infectious materials, needle stick, mucous membrane, non -intact skin or airborne inhalation (etc.), require specific follow-up. It is the student' s responsibility to initiate appropriate first aid and report the incident as soon as possible, preferably within one (I hour), to their clinical instructor or immediate supervisor so appropriate steps can be taken to provide for the safety of the student. Students are responsible for the cost of any medical care necessary due to injury or illness while practicing in the laboratory and/or clinical education facility. Additionally, students are responsible for blood borne exposure testing that may be needed should an exposure incident occur while at their clinical education facility. It is strongly recommended that students carry health insurance. FALL SEMESTER Assignments Be sure you complete all assignments for SPTI I 0. Each assignment addresses learning outcomes and objectives and will prepare you for your time in the clinical setting. Studying We have a rigorous schedule and a fom1idable amount of material to cover this semester, and the faculty are aware of the difficulty of your task. You will be required to absorb several times more material than you probably have in previous courses, and the rate at which the material is presented to you will be much faster. When you go into the hospitals in January, it will be assumed that you have mastered this material, so we really have no choice but to cover itall and to move at the speed we do. Whatever you do, do not allow yourself to fall behind, even for a few days, because it will be extremely difficult to catch up. Similarly, trying to cram or pulling an all-nighter before an exam will be counter-productive, both because of the sheer volume of material covered on each exam and because you must be mentally alert during the test. Most importantly, you are not learning this material for an exam or for a grade but for your career. The best overall study approach is to consistently set aside a period of time each day (including weekends), in a quiet environment and with access to all of your resource materials. If you are an average reader, you should be spending about four hours a day outside class (more on weekends) just to cover the assignments. If you are a slow reader, you will have to spend more time. First, read over each assignment quickly, to get the general sense of the subject, and then reread more carefully, highlighting important points and jotting down questions or areas of confusion for further review and clarification. Do the same with any handouts. Please note; there are no study guides distributed, note taking is encouraged. Then, after taking good notes in class, review the objectives again, connecting any discrepancies and identifying any areas that you need to ask questions about. (Note: All the faculty are here to assist you in any way they can, but you need to take the initiative in seeking help if it is needed.) It will not be possible to be successful in these courses by simply memorizing terms or phrases in a textbook or from class notes. Memorization is very important, but it is not sufficient. Thinking is imperative. You must understand complex concepts and demonstrate the ability to apply them, as well as being able to see connections between concepts. Examinations will often include essay questions, requiring you to state concepts in your own words or to defend reasons for your answers. The most common reason for failing a course is lack of time and attention to the content. Attendance Attendance is extremely important. Lectures will offer a great deal that is not covered in your textbooks, plus you are setting patterns for employment and you will be evaluated as such. Therefore, attendance can influence your grade if you have more than three (3) absences per course per semester. If you will be absent, you are expected to phone in before the beginning of the class. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed from the class from which you were absent. Make-up times for absences with a medical excuse will be assessed on an individual basis. Punctuality Punctuality is also extremely important. Class times begin on the hour, unless otherwise designated, so allow sufficient time for parking or for lunch. If you are late, you may have to wait until break to enter the classroom as doors are lock ed once class begins. Absences from exam With an excused absence from an exam, the exam must be made up as soon as possible and the grade will be given full credit. (Note: A doctor's note may be required.) With an unexcused absence, the exam must be made up at the first opportunity and the grade earned can be no higher than a "C". Grading You must pass every course with a "C" or better to be eligible to continue into the clinical (Winter) semester of the program. The following grading scale will be used for all courses: 92-100% = 90-91% = 88-89% = ## A A- ## B+ 82-87% = B 80-81% = B78-79% = C+ below 59% =E 75-77% 70-74% 60-69% ## = C = C= D Grade determination for Fall Semester courses will be available the first day of class. Extra credit projects or bonus points are not awarded in this program. Since professionalism includes knowledge, skills and conduct, your ethics, integrity, and maturity are just as important as intelligence and academic achievement. Your readiness to progress into the clinical area will be assessed by attitudes, as well as by grades. If the Program Coordinator has reason to doubt a student's readiness to continue into the Winter Semester, even with satisfactory academic grades, this will be discussed with the student and an arbitrator. In addition to all that, you can't just "sit-in" on lectures. You must be involved, alert and thinking during class time. You must at all times be striving for comprehension and be engaged in problem-solving, reasoning and application skills. You should be asking questions to ensure you have a good understanding of the material. This will prepare you for the CRCST® exam. WINTER SEMESTER SPT l 12 - Clinical Externship This program utilizes clinical experiences at: - St. Mary's Medical Center in Saginaw - St. Mary's Towne Centre - Covenant Healthcare System (its Cooper, and Harrison campuses) - McLaren Bay Regional Medical Center - MyMichigan Medical Center - Alma - McLaren Flint - Mackinaw Surgery Center - Ascension Genesys - Hurley Medical Center During the Winter Semester, each student will be assigned to a clinical rotation. Rotation assignments are based on your skill level and your personality. You will be asked to list your three preferences, and these are looked at when scheduling your clinical rotation. The goal of placements is to fulfill graduation requirements as well as secure you a position upon graduation. Note: Any or all the clinical assignments may require that you travel outside your home community. The Clinical Rotation schedule for 2024: Rotation I: January 6th - March 8th Rotation II: March 9th - April 26th (spring break is March 4th – March 9th) You will be required to maintain a daily case log, recording all your activities and participation in different areas of sterile processing. You will turn in weekly evaluations completed by your preceptor or supervisor. Remember, learning is a journey and successful completion of your journey should be apparent by growth of skill and knowledge in the sterile processing department. You will need to keep a record called of your time in each area using the form from HSPA. This form will be discussed prior to winter semester. Your time in each area of sterile processing will be recorded, signed off by hospital management and submitted to HSPA once you complete the program to sit for certification. At the end of your rotation, you will be asked to fill out an evaluation of the clinical site and any preceptors you may have worked with. At the end of the year, I will share these comments with the Clinical Instructors (taking care to maintain the anonymity of the sources), so that they can receive in put about how they are doing. Health and Wellness Document Waiver and Release Form I understand that as a student in the Sterile Processing Program at Delta College; in order to obtain a degree, I am required to participate in certain clinical experiences in facilities. I understand that in order for me to participate in these clinical experiences, Delta College and the Facilities require that I provide current health documents (the "Documents"), including but not necessarily limited to: Current Physical Examination. Current CPR Certification "BLS Provider", Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers" - "CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and Health Care Providers". Annual TI3 test via skin test or if you have ever tested positive a chest X-ray. (Can be completed prior to immunizations or 4-6 weeks following.) Provide the following documentation on the State of Michigan Immunization Record available from the County Health Department: Hepatitis B Vaccination Series or Signed Electronic Waiver Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) Immunizations (except those born before 1957) or Titer Tetanus/Diphtheria/Acellular (Td, Tdap) vaccination (within the last 10 years) or Titer Varicella vaccination or documentation of diagnosis or Titer Other vaccinations as required by clinical site as outlined at orientation. I agree to provide multiple copies of the Documents to the program staff, and to provide updated copies, as requested. I understand that the Documents will be provided by Delta College to the Facilities, and I agree that it may do so. I waive any claim which I may have against Delta College, now or in the future, and I hereby agree release and hold harmless the College, its employees, representatives, agents, and assigns from and against any claim, action, suit, proceeding, loss, cost, damage, Liability, deficiency, fine, punitive damage or expense in connection with or arising out of possession or use of the Documents by the College or the Facilities, or the College's providing the Documents to the Facilities. I have read and understand the foregoing statements, and I agree to the terms. Legal Signature Legal Name (typed or printed) Date Student Responsibilities and Classroom Conduct General Rules of Student Conduct - Attendance Delta College requires attendance records for each class. You are allowed three absences per course. For policies concerning adverse weather conditions and cancellation of classes, see the Delta College catalogue. Policies for the Clinical Externship are listed for the Winter. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off and put away during class time. I recognize that there may be times when you must be able to be contacted by others (e.g. regarding a sick child or other family member). In such cases, adjust your cell phone to vibrate and step outside the classroom if you believe a call must be answered immediately. This exception should not be abused. It is very disruptive to the flow of the class as well as your classmates if you are on your cell phone. Please be aware that if you have your cell phone on you and in use to post while in the clinical setting, this is cause for dismissal from the program due to HIPAA violations. Recording of lectures I generally do not object to students recording lectures if you wish to do so, but it is courteous to request permission. Many topics of conversation should not leave the classroom. Disruptive student Noises that disrupt others need to be held to a minimum during class. If you are late for class, you may have to wait until there is a break to enter class. Individual conversations during class may be distracting to the instructor and to other students. Repeated episodes of talking may result in your being asked to leave the classroom. Verbal abuse and inappropriate language, particularly vulgarity, profanity, and any slurs related to race/ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation will not be tolerated. This type of behavior is generally grounds for dismissal in the workplace, and therefore repeated episodes may result in your removal from this program. Academic Honesty/Integrity Students are expected to adhere to the standards of academic honesty, as described in the College Catalogue under Integrity of Academic Work (Delta College Senate Policy 4.060). This policy covers cheating, plagiarism, falsification, and aiding and abetting dishonesty. If a question of academic dishonesty should arise, the first efforts toward the solution of the problem will be the responsibility of the faculty member involved. The student will be notified of the allegation as soon as it becomes known to the faculty member and will be given a reasonable opportunity to respond to the faculty member before judgement is reached. Any penalty assessed will be at the discretion of the faculty member, who will take care to match the severity of the penalty with the seriousness of the situation. The process for policy violations will be followed as listed in the Catalogue. A student who receives a failing grade and/or dismissal from the program based on a charge of academic dishonesty may dispute the final grade (see the College Catalogue for this process). In Addition, it is the student's responsibility to apply for refund of the WinterSemester Course's tuition & fees if you are not successful during the Fall Semester. Only Delta e-mail accounts will be utilized for communication. Review the Delta College Catalogue (printed or on-line) for policies regarding: Students Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct: Regulations and Rules of Conduct Disruptive Students Student Complaint and Hearing Process Electronic Resource Access and Use Guidelines Safety and Security Information: Law Enforcement on the Campus Reporting Criminal Activities or Emergencies Maintenance and Security of Campus Facilities Sexual harassment Parking Regulations Drug and Alcohol Guidelines and Resources Records Access and Confidentiality Also see the Delta College Catalogue for: Policies regarding Withdrawal and Refunds Procedures for Academic Caution, Probation, and Suspension Disputed Final Grade Policy Graduation Requirements and for all other general college policies Delta College Guidelines for Reentry into Health Occupation Programs Reentry Process A request for reentry can be made if the student has had a course failure or has withdrawn from a program track and the student is in their second or subsequent semester of the program. The request for reentry should be made within one month of the course failed or withdrawn from or at the latest one month after the grade is transcripted. The student must apply in writing and may choose to attend the meeting to address the Reentry/Review Board. If reentry is granted the student must reenter the program within one year or the student is no longer eligible for reentry, and must revalidate for the program unless the Reentry/Review Board determines that a different time period is appropriate. Placement into a program course will be determined by Review Board decision and if the number of reentry students exceeds course availability then placement is determined by the date and time that the Review Board form is received back into the Health & Wellness Division Office. No Review Board form can be received until withdrawal from a course has been made or an official grade has been issued by the instructor at the end of the course. If, after reentry, a second failure should occur, the student cannot apply for reentry nor can he/she revalidate for the same program. However, he/she can attempt to validate for a different program. The Reentry/Review Board will meet within 30 days of a student's request for reentry. Reentry/Review Board Membership The Reentry/Review Board shall have the following membership: Faculty Chair - 3-year term Faculty Alternate Chair - 3-year term who will become Chair and preside over situations where the Chair is involved. Discipline Faculty or Alternate - Non-involved full-time discipline faculty member will be selected, or a full-time division member will be selected by the faculty, of the involved discipline, if all discipline faculty are involved. Student Representative or Alternate - Students in each program will elect a representative and an alternate in case the student representative in involved. Division Member At-Large - Pool of 3 division members appointed by the division chair will rotate based on availability at the designated meeting time. Counselor The following five (5) members shall vote: Board Chair or Alt ern ate Discipline Faculty or Alternate Student Representative or Alternate Division Member Counselor Reentry Decision A decision will be made by the Reentry/Review Board at the conclusion of their meeting(s). Students will be notified within two weeks by email and certified mail of the decision. Decisions denying reentry mutt have rationale, in writing, for the denial. A copy of the Reentry/Review Board' s decision will be sent to the associate dean. Individual Plan for Success If the Reentry/Review Board approves reentry, the Board will also develop an individual plan for success (IPFS)which will be given to the student as part of the reentry process. The IPFS will be discussed with the student by the Program Coordinator or designee. All condition s of the IPFS, which focuses on student success, must be met in order to continue in the program tracks and cannot be appealed. It should be noted that reentry into a program is based on space availability since our programtracks have limited enrollment capacities. Appeal Process A student may appeal the Re- entry/ Review Board's decision if new or pertinent informationbecomes available that was not considered in the initial request. The faculty, division chair or dean can request with supporting rationale. Submission of a written appeal to the Reentry/Review Board should be made within 30 days ofthe initial decision. The Reentry/Review Board Chair or Alternate Chair will then schedule a meeting within two weeks. The original Reentry/Review Board members will meet for the purpose of reviewing theappeal. The Board will notify the appellant of their decision by email and certified mail. An appeal decision cannot be further disputed in this process. Confidentiality Statement All participants of the Reentry/Review Board process, in any of the proceedings, should consider all matters covered in the meetings as confidential due to the nature of the situations and discussions that follow to resolve them. Any breach of confidentiality may lead to disciplinary action, according to College policy. Note To assure continuity in the reentry process all H&W disciplines must have policies in place , within their student handbooks, that follow these minimum guidelines. If no discipline specific policy exists then these guidelines as outline will be used within the H&W Division. The Division Chai r must review an alternate Reentry/Review Process to assure consistency. ## CLINICAL EXTERNSHIP I. Please eat breakfast! 2. You are responsible for providing your own transportation to clinical sites. Be sure you use the appropriate parking facilities at each hospital. If this is not mentioned during your orientation, ask about where you should park. 3. Be dressed and in the department, ready to perform your duties, at your assigned starting time. 4. You are expected to act in a responsible and professional manner with regard to absenteeism and tardiness. If you are late or will be absent, you must call the department before your assigned starting time. Talk to or leave a message for your preceptor at the phone number for the department that is listed on the third page of your Clinical Rotation Schedule. You will need to make an additional call and leave a phone message: one to the department's Clinical Coordinator. If you do not reach the Clinical Coordinator, you must contact the Program Coordinator. A student who reports late more than three times during a rotation will receive a written wa·rning and will be required to make up 1/2 day at the end of the semester for every 3 times tardy. (In the event that a tardiness is beyond your control, your preceptor or the Clinical Instructor will make the determination as to what course of action, if any, will be taken.) It is imperative that professionals consider patient care as well as consideration for fellow workers when deciding if they are too sick to work. If you are ill, give the department an estimate of when you expect to return; if that estimate changes, notify your preceptor. The decision to send a student home sick will be made by the department supervisor in accordance with the procedures established by that individual institution, and that will count as a sick day. In the event of a serious illness, your standing in the program will be evaluated by the Program Coordinator, the department's Clinical instructor, and your physician. You will be required to have a physician's excuse to be readmitted to the clinical area under the following circumstances: a. You have missed three consecutive days. b. You have a communicable disease or an infected skin lesion . c. You have called in sick the day before or after a holiday/vacation day. Absent days in the clinical area are not to exceed three days during the semester. Anyone who exceeds three days during the semester may be removed from the program. This will be discussed with the student and will be determined on an individual basis. Only excusable absences will allow the student to remain in the program and make the time up. Arrangements for clinical make-up days will be made by the student with the clinical site and approved by the Clinical Coordinator. Absenteeism and tardiness will be recorded and will be considered in your evaluation and final grade in the course. Absence or tardiness without notification will not be tolerated! The first occurrence will result in a written warning; a second occurrence will result in immediate dismissal from the program! 5. It is recognized that weather conditions can vary considerably within the Delta College district, but please make every effort (within reason) to make it to the hospital under adverse weather conditions. When Delta College is officially closed ("Snow Day" declared), the following rules will apply: a. If the announcement for cancellation of classes is made prior to the student's departure for the clinical site, the clinical activities for that day will be canceled. b. If the student has already arrived at the clinical site before being aware that Delta classes have been canceled, the student can choose whether to go home again or to stay and participate in the day's clinical activities. c. If the announcement for cancellation of classes is made after the scheduled start of the day's clinical activities, the clinical activities for that day will continue as scheduled. d. 1f a student has to leave the clinical area due to weather conditions or some weather-related situation, it will be handled as any other "personal" or "sick" day. e. In the event of fire, power outage, or some other condition that affects only the Delta College campus, the student should report to the clinical site and clinical activities will continue as scheduled. 6. During clinical, you need to follow the hospital dress code. The facility will provide you with scrubs. No jewelry should be worn to the clinical site and nails should be free of nail polish and trimmed ¼ inch. Your name tag, designating you as a student, must be worn at all times in the department. In some hospitals, a hospital ID badge must be obtained and worn (provided without cost by the facility). 7. You will adhere to Standard Precautions and all other safety practices at all times. Students in an off-campus clinical setting will be provided with PPE according to that facility's policies and in accordance with the MIOSHA standard. You are to wear eye protection whenever you are scrubbed on a case and at any other time when an eye splash incident could be anticipated. 8. Coffee breaks: Take a break only if you are assigned to do so by your preceptor or circulator, and be sure the room personnel know where you are. Coffee breaks usually are no more than 10 minutes and no more than two a day. Do not leave the department unless that is accepted practice. 9. Lunch breaks: Take lunch breaks with your assigned preceptor/scrub person or as designated by your room circulator or Clinical Instructor. Always let your circulator know here you are. Lunch breaks are 30 minutes. If you are leaving the department, be sure to observe the proper protocol regarding apparel and shoe covers. 10. Physician and dental appointments are to be scheduled after school hours. In the event that this is not possible, you must inform your preceptor/Clinical Instructor and the Program Coordinator three days prior to the appointment and again the morning of the appointment. This will be recorded as an "excused absence" and the time may need to be made up. 11. If you are injured or become ill during clinical hours, you must report that to the Clinical Instructor and/or department supervisor. You will be allowed to have access to the same health care services utilized by employees of that department. However, you must be prepared to pay for such services yourself; neither the hospital nor Delta College provides health insurance coverage for you. Upon completion of treatment you are to report back to the Clinical Instructor and/or department supervisor and comply with whatever instructions arc given at that time. If you are exposed or suspect exposure to a communicable disease, you must report the incident immediately to the Clinical Instructor and/or department supervisor and comply with any requirements for evaluation of the situation. In the case of needle-sticks or injury with sharps, you must follow the department's protocol for reporting penetrating injuries and participate in any follow-up testing that the department may require (at your own expense). Such injury must also be reported to the Program Coordinator as soon as possible. Documentation of al I injuries and treatment should be reported to Delta College Campus Safety. You are not an employee of the hospital and are not eligible for any Workman's Compensation claims for any injury or illness sustained during clinical hours. Your daily tracking log is to be kept current and, in your folder, where both you and your Clinical Instructor (and Delta faculty) have access to it. This record provides a means to monitor your activities, skill level, and variety of experiences, time spent in sterile processing and it assists the Clinical Instructor in determining your assignments. 12. Remember: Your clinical time will go fast. It is to your benefit to get as much experience as possible. By the end of the semester you will be expected to be able to function as an entry-level employee. You will gain from the clinical experience only as much as you put into it. Just remember that there will come a time when you not have another person with you to back you up or to hold your hand! 13. When expectations regarding levels of clinical performance are not being met, a verbal warning will be communicated to the student, and the reasons for the warning and possible methods for remediation or correction will be discussed between the student and the Program Coordinator (and possibly with your preceptor and/or Clinical Instructor also present). If, after an appropriate time period, clinical performance is still not deemed to be within acceptable limits, a written notice will be issued. The written notice will define in what way(s) performance expectations are not being met, will state that the student is being placed on probation, will delineate guidelines for the improvement of performance, and will specify a deadline for improvement. If improvements are not satisfactory within the allotted time frame, the student may be asked to withdraw from the program or will be issued a failing grade for the Clinical Externship (and therefore not complete the program). The student has the option to appeal such a ruling as per College policies. 14. Clinical experiences are a contractual matter between Delta College and each healthcare agency. Therefore, students are expected to behave as guests in the healthcare facilities, abiding by their policies and procedures. Agencies and patients reserve the right to refuse student access to clinical experiences. You and the clinical site you are assigned to will decide on the schedule that works best for you and the clinical site. You must share your schedule with the Clinical Coordinator. 15. When standards of conduct are not met, disciplinary action may include a reprimand, probationary period, suspension, or dismissal. The degree of disciplinary action is determined by the seriousness of the offense. Past conduct and performance will be taken into consideration. Grounds for disciplinary action include, but are not limited to, the following: A. Inappropriate dress or appearance, including failure to wear a proper nametag. B. Undependability, leaving the clinical area without proper authorization, or unexcused absences. C. Loitering, loafing, or sleeping while in the clinical area. D. Unauthorized solicitation or distribution on hospital premises at any time. E. Parking in unauthorized areas. F. Gambling or conducting games of chance or possession of gambling devices on hospital premises. G. Insubordination or refusal to obey reasonable orders or instructions. H. Use of abusive or obscene language, or acting in a disrespectful manner to any faculty member, preceptor or department staff member, patient, visitor, supervisor, surgeon, or classmate. I. Disruptive behavior or disorderly conduct on hospital premises. J. Dishonesty or illegal conduct of any kind. K. Unethical conduct. L. Violation of patient confidentiality, including the unauthorized possession, use, copying, or reading of patient hospital records or disclosure of information contained in such records to an unauthorized person. M. Unauthorized disclosure or falsification of school or hospital documents orrecords or their removal without proper authorization. N. Negligence, incompetence, failure to perform responsibilities safely, violation of safety rules and regulations, or failure to exercise reasonable care in the performance of any duties. O. Disruption of patient services or creating or contributing to adverse or unsafe conditions. P. Sexual harassment. Q. Theft, misuse, unauthorized use, or deliberate destruction of hospital equipment or supplies or the property of any patient, visitor, student, or hospital employee. R. Threats of violence or assault; intimidating or coercing a classmate, co- worker, or other employee; possession of any object commonly considered to be a "weapon" on hospital premises. S. Use of alcoholic beverages or illicit drugs on college or hospital premises, or reporting for duty while under the influence of intoxicants. T. Failure to abide by any other college or hospital policy. U. Any other conduct which, in the opinion of the college, is inconsistent with satisfactory standards of work, conduct, and general performance, and not in the best interest of patients, fellow students, hospital staff members, surgeons or instructors. ****************************************************************************** Delta College Sterile Processing Program I have read and understand the policies regarding my Clinical Externship.

Therefore, throughout all of the Surgical Technology courses, the following outcomes will be pursued. - Demonstrate acceptable communication and language skills in reading, writing, and speaking. - Demonstrate appropriate critical thinking skills to analyze data and discipline-based knowledge and to formulate logical conclusions and activities. - Demonstrate good interpersonal/collaborative skills and work constructively within a group. - Demonstrate the ability to access, analyze, and use information appropriate to the discipline. DUTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF A SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIST Definition of a Surgical Technologist: A Surgical Technologist is an Allied Health professional who possesses expertise in the theory and application of sterile and aseptic techniques and who combines knowledge of human anatomy, surgical procedures, and the implementation tools and technologies to facilitate a physician's performance of invasive therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. (AST Bylaws) Duties of a Surgical Technologist: 1. Maintains surgical equipment and all implements utilized by a surgeon in the operative care of a patient, assuring their proper working condition and safety for patient-use. 2. Selects and prepares the designated surgical equipment and sterilizes or checks the sterility of such instruments and other supplies for surgical operations. 3. Prepares the operating room for surgery, assuring a safe and aseptic environment and adequate instrumentation and supplies. 4. Assists, as delegated by the surgeon, in supporting the patient's physical and emotional security, including safety and the protection of anatomic and physiologic functions. This may include: a. Providing safety and adequate support and maintenance of body alignment during patient transfer, b. Supporting ventilation, circulation, and nervous function during positioning of the patient, c. Avoiding undue invasion of the patient's privacy by needless exposure, d. Providing tactile and verbal reassurance to the patient concerning his/her welfare and safety, e. Maintaining a quiet environment, with minimal disturbance of the pre-medicated patient, f. Guarding patient safety at all times, especially the patient who is undergoing General anesthesia whose natural defense reflexes are not functioning, g. Maintaining an aseptic environment, h. Assisting with placement of drains and dressings, i. Offering other assistance specifically requested by any physician involved with the case. 5. Assists the surgeon as directed during operative procedures (usually in the role of surgical technologist). 6. Collects, processes, and properly disposes of surgical specimens, in accordance with hospital policies and practices. 7. Assists in training students in Operating Room work techniques and procedures, if qualified to do so. Personality Attributes Sought in a Surgical Technologist: 1. Motivation and concern for patient welfare. Active commitment to the medical treatment of human disease and suffering, to the continuous improvement of health care delivery, and to the philosophy that the patient is the center and objective of the hospital organization, is mandatory for the maintenance of the highest quality of health care standards in any area of the hospital. Recognize that dedication, enthusiasm, and alertness greatly affect the quality of work performance. 2. Ability to respect the patient as a person and not an operative object. Each patient must be respected as an individual who is unique and who possesses intelligence and dignity. Judgmental attitudes are not acceptable in a health care setting. Each patient should receive the undivided attention and individualized care that recognizes his/her own unique needs and value as a human being. Job routines must never compromise concern for patients as individuals or the delivery of optimal patient care. "Treat each patient as you would like to be cared for yourself." 3. Moral responsibility of retaining unto herself/himself the personal and medical facts they learn about a patient. Operating Room personnel have a professional moral, ethical, and legal responsibility to respect the patient's privacy. Communication from the patient or about his personal or medical condition is privileged information and must never be mentioned outside the Operating Room (HIPPA). 4. Good personal hygiene and strict adherence to the principles of sterile technique. Prevention of infections is the responsibility of the entire surgical team. An aseptic environment must be maintained. 5. Acceptable manual facility and mental organization. The operating room staff must exhibit optimal functional efficiency, utilizing maximum speed and dexterity, in order to minimize traumatic operative and anesthesia time, always keeping patient welfare in mind and not compromising aseptic technique. Surgical technologists must be detail oriented and possess good organizational skills. 6. Personal integrity and responsibility. Honesty is paramount in the Operating Room. Fear of reprimand is misplaced and insignificant compared to the results to which an undiscovered error can lead. Operating Room personnel share in the responsibility for the patient's well-being and contribute a great deal toward the success of surgical interventions by avoidance of error and timeconsuming lack of preparation. 7. Ability to analyze situations and to problem-solve. Operating Room personnel must be able to adapt their actions based on rational analysis of different or changing clinical or job/practice conditions and to creatively generate, evaluate, and revise solutions or alternative activities. 8. Ability to work under stress. New procedures, deviations in routines, and complications are constant possibilities in the surgical setting. Surgical technologists must be able to work quickly and accurately without becoming flustered in stressful and emergent situations. The maintenance of an appropriate sense of humor and a proper perspective during challenging or distressing events can help everyone respond to those stresses more productively. It must also be recognized that every procedure in an operating room has the potential for emergency, and all members of the surgical team must remain constantly alert, adaptable, and functional. 9. Ability to learn and to retain and make practical use of this learning. All operating room personnel must be committed to the constant process of self-evaluation. Knowledge and skills must be continually improved and expanded to attain the highest possible standards of performance. 10. Proper professional attitude and behavior. A professional attitude must be maintained by all Operating Room personnel. Surgery is a time of great importance in the life of the patient, family and friends, and the staff must be sensitive to this and to the tension they may experience. The patient and family will feel more confident if the environment is professional, dignified, and orderly. 11. Ability to work as a productive member of a team. All personnel must be dependable, reliable, and consistent in the quality of their work performance. They must be self-directing and accept responsibility for their own behavior and actions. They must also be able to work cooperatively with others and to both give and accept constructive criticism/evaluation. The qualities of an effective team are mutual trust, good communication between members of the team, and confidence in each other's knowledge, abilities, and skills. Sometimes stress can cause team members to be tense or to display aggressive or atypical behavior. Each person must be able to cope not only with their own tensions but with the expressions of stress in other team members. Personal feelings and responses to individuals or circumstances must never be allowed to jeopardize patient welfare. Program Entry Health Certification Requirements It is your responsibility to maintain current health and certification records while in the Surgical Technology Program. The following documentation must be provided to the Program Coordinator before you enter any clinical facility. Any student who is not in compliance with these regulations may be denied entrance to clinical facilities. The program utilizes ACEMAPP for accumulation of the listed information and you are responsible for any associated fees. Physical Exam You must submit a physical examination report, current within a year of expected program completion, confirming that you are free from any communicable disease and can perform all duties necessary for the safe care of patients. TB Skin Test You must provide confirmation of a negative TB skin test, and/or a chest X-ray. Hepatitis B Vaccine, MMR, and Tetanus You must provide proof of Hepatitis B immunization or a signed waver form. While the vaccination series is complete, you may need a blood titer verifying that the immunization has been effective. For persons born after 1957, immunization for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), is strongly recommended. If MMR documentation is unable to be obtained, a high rubella titer report can be substituted. Tetanus (Td) immunization within the last ten years is strongly recommended. CPR Certification You must provide a copy of your current CPR certification, which must include Two Person Rescuer Technique, and remain current throughout the program. FLU Vaccine Seasonal influenza vaccine is strongly recommended. A waiver is available and should be signed by your physician.

A written statement from your healthcare provider regarding these changes may be required, and these changes may impact your ability to complete course/clinical objectives. Latex Allergy Each student in a health career program must be aware that if they have an allergy to latex. Although the program and most clinical sites are latex free, some may still have latex on site. Please let program faculty know if you have a latex allergy. Warning: If you have a latex allergy, you should be aware that this could potentially lead to a life threatening emergency in the Operating Room because all latex exposure cannot be eliminated. Title IX/Pregnancy Policy If you are or think you might become pregnant during your participation in this program, you should notify the Program Coordinator. Being in an Operating Room can expose you to potential teratogenic agents, and we will need to discuss these risks and your options. A written statement from your healthcare provider regarding approved activity and any limitations may be required. These limitations may impact your ability to complete course/clinical objectives on time, but you are protected under Title IX and Delta faculty will abide by all rules under Title IX, and will work with you and your physician, as well as the clinical facility through the completion of your program. Delta College adheres to Title IX regulations which govern all aspects of educational programs and activities. For further information, visit the Title IX webpage or contact the Title IX Coordinator: Office A-093, phone (989-686-9547) or email equityoffice@delta.edu. Drug Testing Students will be required to have a 10-panel drug screen completed prior to the start of clinical. Clinical facilities also have the right to require random drug testing on all students who are assigned to that facility for their clinical experiences. A positive result will generally result in the student being denied access to clinical practice in that facility (and possibly in any other facility, which could impact your ability to complete the program's clinical requirements). All required drug screens will be at the students expense. Student Background Check All students entering the professional part of the curriculum will have background checks conducted. This is required prior to the start of fall courses. If you know you have a felony conviction, you should discuss this with the program coordinator as this may prevent you from attending clinical. Disabilities If you feel that you have a disability would like an accommodation please contact Disability Resources at 989-686-9794 D101. A student may discuss any concerns of disabilities or accommodations with their instructor(s). Instructors reserve the right to refer any student to ODR for resources or accommodations. Smoking Please see the Delta College policy at www.delta.edu/safety/regulations.html. Many of the clinical sites are smoke free and may perform a tobacco test. A positive result may prevent you from successfully completing the program. Exposure or Incident Report Students who experience an incident (fall), or exposure to any potentially infectious materials, needle stick, mucous membrane, non-intact skin or airborne inhalation (etc.), require specific follow-up. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate appropriate first aid and report the incident as soon as possible, preferably within one (1 hour), to their clinical instructor or immediate supervisor so appropriate steps can be taken to provide for the safety of the student. The student should also file a report with campus safety at Delta College. Students are responsible for the cost of any medical care necessary due to injury or illness while practicing in the laboratory and/or clinical education facility. Additionally, students are responsible for blood borne exposure testing that may be needed should an exposure incident occurs while at their clinical education facility. It is strongly recommended that students carry health insurance. Student Responsibilities and Classroom Conduct General Rules of Student Conduct - Attendance Delta College requires attendance records for each class. Missing class may inhibit your ability to be successful in this program as well as a reduction in letter grade. (Continued on page 19) Class begins promptly at the designated scheduled time. Students are expected to be in their seat, prepared and ready to learn. Classroom doors will be locked when class begins. If you are late, you will have to wait until break to enter the classroom. Emergency situations will be determined on an individual basis. Students should remain in their seat and attentive for the duration of lecture. For policies concerning adverse weather conditions and cancellation of classes, see the Delta College catalogue. Policies for the Clinical Externship are listed for the Winter. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off and put away during class time. If there are times when you must be able to be contacted by others (e.g., regarding a sick child or other family member), adjust your cell phone to vibrate and step outside the classroom if you believe a call must be answered immediately. This exception should not be abused. It is very disruptive to the flow of the class as well as your classmates if you are on your cell phone. Please be aware that if you have your cell phone on you and in use to post while in the clinical setting, this is cause for dismissal from the program due to HIPAA violations. Recording of lectures There is no objection to recording lectures, however, it is courteous to inform the instructor prior to use. Many topics of conversation will not leave the classroom or be shared with individuals outside the program. The student may be asked to pause their recording when discussing sensitive information. Violating the outlined terms of recording could result in a HIPPA violation. Disruptive student Noises that disrupt others need to be held to a minimum during class. If you are late for class, you may have to wait until there is a break to enter class. Individual conversations during class may be distracting to the instructor and to other students. Repeated episodes of talking may result in your being asked to leave the classroom. Verbal abuse and inappropriate language Vulgar language, profanity, and any slurs related to race/ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation will not be tolerated. This type of behavior is generally grounds for dismissal in the workplace, and therefore could result in your removal from the program. . Academic Honesty/Integrity Students are expected to adhere to the standards of academic honesty, as described in the College Catalogue under Integrity of Academic Work. This policy covers cheating, plagiarism, falsification, and aiding and abetting dishonesty. If a question of academic dishonesty should arise, the first efforts toward the solution of the problem will be the responsibility of the faculty member involved. The student will be notified of the allegation as soon as it becomes known to the faculty member and will be given a reasonable opportunity to respond to the faculty member before judgement is reached. Any penalty assessed will be at the discretion of the faculty member, who will take care to match the severity of the penalty with the seriousness of the situation. The process for policy violations will be followed as listed in the Catalogue. A student who receives a failing grade and/or dismissal from the program based on a charge of academic dishonesty may dispute the final grade (see the College Catalogue for this process). AI Usage All work must be the individual creation of the student for the sole use of the course. The use of ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and all other Artificial Intelligence software to create content for the student will be considered academic dishonesty. The use of AI as a resource is permitted and must be cited in the proper format as such. Please Note, it is the student’s responsibility to apply for a refund of the Winter Semester Course’s tuition & fees if you are not successful during the Fall Semester. Only Delta e-mail accounts will be utilized for communication.

The request for reentry should be made within one month of the course failed or withdrawn from or at the latest one month after the grade is transcript. The student must apply in writing and may choose to attend the meeting to address the Reentry/Review Board. If reentry is granted the student must reenter the program within one year or the student is no longer eligible for reentry and must revalidate for the program unless the Reentry/Review Board determines that a different time period is appropriate. Placement into a program course will be determined by Review Board decision and if the number of reentry students exceeds course availability, then placement is determined by the date and time that the Review Board form is received back into the Health & Wellness Division Office. No Review Board form can be received until withdrawal from a course has been made or an official grade has been issued by the instructor at the end of the course. If, after reentry, a second failure should occur, the student cannot apply for reentry, nor can he/she revalidate for the same program. However, he/she can attempt to validate for a different program. The Reentry/Review Board will meet within 30 days of a student’s request for reentry. Reentry/Review Board Membership The Reentry/Review Board shall have the following membership: Faculty Chair – 3-year term Faculty Alternate Chair – 3-year term who will become Chair and preside over situations where the Chair is involved. Discipline Faculty or Alternate – Non-involved full-time discipline faculty member will be selected, or a full-time division member will be selected by the faculty, of the involved discipline, if all discipline faculty are involved. Student Representative or Alternate – Students in each program will elect a representative and an alternate in case the student representative in involved. Division Member At-Large – Pool of 3 division members appointed by the division chair will rotate based on availability at the designated meeting time. Counselor The following five (5) members shall vote: Board Chair or Alternate Discipline Faculty or Alternate Student Representative or Alternate Division Member Counselor Reentry Decision A decision will be made by the Reentry/Review Board at the conclusion of their meeting(s). Students will be notified within two weeks by email and certified mail of the decision. Decisions denying reentry mutt have rationale, in writing, for the denial. A copy of the Reentry/Review Board’s decision will be sent to the division chair. Individual Plan for Success If the Reentry/Review Board approves reentry, the Board will also develop an Individual Plan For Success (IPFS) which will be given to the student as part of the reentry process. The IPFS will be discussed with the student by the Program Coordinator or designee. All conditions of the IPFS, which focuses on student success, must be met in order to continue in the program tracks and cannot be appealed. It should be noted that reentry into a program is based on space availability since our program tracks have limited enrollment capacities. Appeal Process A student may appeal the Reentry/Review Board’s decision if new or pertinent information becomes available that was not considered in the initial request. The faculty, division chair or dean can request with supporting rationale. Submission of a written appeal to the Reentry/Review Board should be made within 30 days of the initial decision. The Reentry/Review Board Chair or Alternate Chair will then schedule a meeting within two weeks. The original Reentry/Review Board members will meet for the purpose of reviewing the appeal. The Board will notify the appellant of their decision by email and certified mail. An appeal decision cannot be further disputed in this process. Confidentiality Statement All participants of the Reentry/Review Board process, in any of the proceedings, should consider all matters covered in the meetings as confidential due to the nature of the situations and discussions that follow to resolve them. Any breach of confidentiality may lead to disciplinary action, according to College policy. Note To assure continuity in the reentry process, all Health and Wellness disciplines must have their policies in place, within their student handbooks that follow these minimum guidelines. If no specific policy exists then these guidelines as outlined will be used within the Health and Wellness Division. The Associate Dean must review an alternate Reentry/Review Process to assure consistency. Revised May 2021 AST Code of Ethics (Published in 1985) 1. To maintain the highest standards of professional conduct and patient care. 2. To hold in confidence, with respect to the patient’s beliefs, all personal matters. 3. To respect and protect the patient’s legal and moral rights to quality patient care. 4. To not knowingly cause injury or any injustice to those entrusted to our care. 5. To work with fellow technologists and other professional health groups to promote harmony and unity for better patient care. 6. To always follow the principles of asepsis. 7. To maintain a high degree of efficiency through continuing education. 8. To maintain and practice surgical technology willingly, with pride and dignity. 9. To report any unethical conduct or practice to the proper authority. 10. To adhere to this Code of Ethics at all times in relationship to all members of the health care team. Patient Confidentiality Patient confidentiality is not only a matter of ethical concern, it is a right protected by federal law, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability act (HIPAA) regulations. In the clinical setting, any information shared among health providers about patient care must be done in a private area where visitors or those not associated with the case cannot overhear. Only information relevant to your care of the patient should be discussed. In the classroom, when we need to discuss cases and events that occur in the clinical setting, it is for educational purposes only, and anything said in the classroom is considered as privileged information that is not to be communicated or discussed outside the classroom. Students should refrain from discussing any patient information on any social platform. Failure to follow this request, will result in automatic dismissal from the program. FALL SEMESTER Assignments The assignment sheets for each course represent our approximate schedule for the semester. The textbook assignments listed are to be read before the assigned class time. Not all readings will be discussed in class, but you are still responsible for the assigned textbook activities, handout materials, and all other assignments. All assigned content has the potential to appear on final examinations. Warning: There are some changes in scheduled class times listed on your assignment sheets. There may be other changes in class meeting times, especially for the Procedures course when we have a surgeon guest-lecturer (they also frequently run overtime). Always carry your assignment sheets or a calendar to class; faculty will give you as much advance notice of changes possible. Courses: ST207 – Pharmacology in the Operating Room (Instructional contact hours: 2). Introduces anesthetic agents and other drugs commonly used in the perioperative setting: their uses, methods of administration, physiologic effects, and hazards or unforeseen effects. ST210 – The Surgical Patient (Instructional contact hours: 2) . Introduces basic concepts of operative patient care, such as preparation of a patient for surgery, patient transportation, surgical incisions, wound healing, operative records, special procedures in the operating room, and the legal, moral and ethical responsibilities of surgical care. ST220 – Fundamentals of Surgical Technology (Instructional contact hours: 11). Demonstrates fundamental principles of operating room function: roles of surgical team members, sterilization and disinfection methods, aseptic technique, surgical instruments, sutures and equipment, electrical safety, patients positioning and preparation, draping the sterile field, and care of supplies. Develops beginning technical skills through laboratory practice; later, operating room observational experiences are provided. ST240 – Surgical Procedures and Anatomy (Instructional contact hours: 10). Studies commonly performed types of surgical procedures. Discusses the pathology leading to surgical invention, the purposes of the surgery, problems which may arise, and the consequences of the surgery for the patient. In addition to the basic techniques utilized during procedures, special instrumentation, supplies, and the latest technology will be introduced. Studying We have a rigorous schedule and a formidable amount of material to cover this semester, and the faculty are aware of the difficulty of your task. You will be required to absorb several times more material than you probably have in previous courses, and the rate at which the material is presented to you will be much faster. [You will also be expected to remember and integrate material from your previous prerequisite courses (horrors!) - they were prerequisites because that information is required as a background for you to build on.] When you go into the hospitals in January, it will be assumed that you have mastered this material, so we really have no choice but to cover it all and to move at the speed we do. Whatever you do, do not allow yourself to fall behind, even for a few days, because it will be extremely difficult to catch up. Similarly, trying to cram or pulling an all-nighter before an exam will be counter-productive, both because of the shear volume of material covered on each exam and because you must be mentally alert during the test. Most importantly, you are not learning this material for an exam or for a grade but for your career. The best overall study approach is to consistently set aside a period of time each day (including weekends), in a quiet environment and with access to all of your resource materials. If you are an average reader, you should be spending about four hours a day outside class (more on weekends) just to cover the assignments. If you are a slow reader, you will have to spend more time. First, read over each assignment quickly, to get the general sense of the subject, and then reread more carefully, highlighting important points and jotting down questions or areas of confusion for further review and clarification. Do the same with any handouts. Then go through the course objectives and make sure you can respond to their expectations. I suggest that you write down your responses, in as much detail as you think will assist you during later review. Drawing pictures or charts for yourself (depending on the subject matter) may also be helpful. Finally, ask yourself questions or quiz each other to see how well you understand the material. Then, after taking good notes in class, review the objectives again, correcting any discrepancies and identifying any areas that you need to ask questions about. (Note: All the faculty are here to assist you in any way they can, but you need to take the initiative in seeking help if it is needed.) It will not be possible to be successful in these courses by simply memorizing terms or phrases in a textbook or from class notes. Memorization is very important, but it is not sufficient. Thinking is imperative. You must understand complex concepts and demonstrate the ability to apply them, as well as being able to see connections between concepts. Examinations will often include essay questions, requiring you to state concepts in your own words or to defend reasons for your answers. The objectives for ST 220 cannot be mastered during class time alone. The O.R. lab and anatomy models are available for your use anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and other times by arrangement with program faculty. A small library is available in the classroom - reference books, articles, professional journals, instrument catalogues, etc. These reference materials must be used in the classroom and may not be taken home. It is strongly suggested that you use the area to study in between classes. However, please keep the classroom doors locked if the room is empty. The most common reason for failing a course is lack of time and attention to the content. Attendance Attendance is extremely important. Lectures will offer a great deal that is not covered in your textbooks. You are setting patterns for employment, and you will be evaluated as such. If you will be absent, you are expected to contact your instructor before the beginning of the class. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain, learn and understand all missed content. This includes but not limited to; notes, assignments, tests, date changes and competencies. Make-up time for coursework following an absence will be assessed on an individual basis and assigned at the discretion of the instructor. Instructors hold the right to lower a student’s letter grade due to absence and tardiness. Absences will be calculated by the contact hours of each individual course. Two equated absences from a single course will result in a lowered letter grade. Arriving late for class or exiting class before instruction has concluded will be recorded as a tardy. Two tardies in one course will equal one absence. Any applicable absences and/or tardies will be calculated and applied at the conclusion of each course. Punctuality Punctuality is also extremely important. Class times begin on the hour or as designated. You must allow sufficient time for parking, road conditions and lunch. If you are late, you may be required to wait until break to enter the classroom as doors are routinely locked once class begins. Absences from exam All makeups must be scheduled with your instructor as soon as possible. Falling to do so may result in a failing grade or refusal of makeup. The instructor holds the right to disallow makeups, apply a late penalty and/or require proof of absence. With an excused absence from an exam the grade will be given full credit. A doctor's note may be required. With an unexcused absence the grade earned can be no higher than a "C". Grading Each course is graded individually. A student must achieve a “C” average or better on each course exams. Exam grades are calculated before homework, or any additional assignments are factored into the final grade. ST-220 calculates two exam grades, “Instrument exams” and “Midterm / final”. The student must achieve a “C” average or better on both of these exam sections independently. You must pass every course with a "C" or better to be eligible to continue into the clinical (Winter) semester of the program. Note* each grading scale has a differing percentage for a “C” to be achieved. The following grading scale will be used for courses ST 207, 210, 220, 250 & 251: Grading scale Percentage Letter Grade 92-100% 90-91% 88-89% 82-87% 80-81% 78-79% 75-77% 70-74% = 60-69% Below 59% ## A AB+ B BC+ C CD E The following grading scale will be used for course ST 240: GRADING SCALE Percentage 93-100 89-92 86-88 82-85 79-81 76-78 72-75 68-71 60-67 Letter Grade A AB+ B BC+ C D F Since professionalism includes knowledge, skills, and conduct, your ethics, integrity, and maturity are just as important as intelligence and academic achievement. Your readiness to progress into the clinical area will be assessed by attitudes, as well as by grades. If the Program Coordinator has reason to doubt a student's readiness to continue into the Winter Semester, even with satisfactory academic grades, they may be dismissed. This will be discussed with the student and an arbitrator. O.R. Laboratory / Simulation area You will need to have at least one pair of ceil blue scrubs for lab. You may also want a warmup jacket to wear while in scrubs and participating in lab. You are required to wear scrubs anytime you enter the simulation area. While in the laboratory, students are expected to demonstrate professional behavior at all times. Do NOT attempt to use or operate any equipment or supplies until you have received the appropriate instruction. When using instruments and equipment, treat them kindly. Laboratory sessions are not considered adjourned until everything has been replaced in the appropriate storage area and the lab is in proper order. It is everyone’s responsibility to help clean up lab after class is done. Lab duties and cleaning responsibilities will be assigned to students and must be completed as scheduled. Failure to do so may result in loss of lab privileges. O.R. Observations By October you must have a pair of OR designated shoes to take to the hospitals. Shoes must closed toe, clean, and for OR use only. You will be issued a name tag, indicating your student status, which must be worn at all times within the hospital. If you lose your name tag, it will be replaced at your expense. (Scrub for observational experiences will be provided by the visiting hospital.) A satisfactory physical exam and TB test must be completed before you can attend hospital observations. You must also have submitted proof that you have received your first two Hepatitis B vaccinations and annual flu shot or have signed the appropriate waivers. If you are not able to get a flu shot for medical reasons, you may be required to wear a mask at all times in the hospital. Dress code & Hygiene Casual dress is allowed and is expected to be appropriate. You will need scrubs on days that you will be working in Delta’s OR / Sim lab. This includes staying after class to practice skills or any other activities that occur in the lab. You can change into your street clothes after lab if you so desire. Each student should take hygiene seriously. We stand very close to one another for extended periods of time. Good oral hygiene as well as body hygiene habits are expected. This also includes limiting the use of heavy perfume, cologne and lotions. What does it take to be successful in this program? ADAPTABILITY AND TOTAL COMMITMENT! Time: You can't just "sit-in" on lectures. You must be involved, alert and thinking during class time. You must at all times be striving for comprehension and be engaged in problem-solving, reasoning and application skills. You should be asking questions to ensure you have a good understanding of the material. This will prepare you for the CST® exam. In lab, where there is not enough room or materials for everyone to have a workstation at all times, if you are not actively involved in a task at the moment, you should be involved in critically observing and assisting others so that you can still be learning from the experience. This is not the time to socialize, recopy notes, study for other courses, or discuss an upcoming exam. Watch what your classmates are doing, mentally evaluate, and anticipate what should be done next. Being able to learn by observation is a critical skill in the O.R., where the old adage of "see one, do one, teach one" is often absolutely correct. You can strengthen your own knowledge and skills by being personally prepared for each lab session and by utilizing all lab time wisely and well. Wasting lab time is one of the biggest mistakes a student can make! As with your outside studying, it is not just a matter of time but a commitment to making it quality time. Attitude: If you can't see (or don't trust your faculty to know) the significance of what you are learning in relation to your future career, if you don't enjoy challenge, or if you don't find hard work and effort rewarding, then you probably won't be successful in this program. Motivation is the key. "The most reliable motivational factors are the ones that come from within, such as your curiosity about the subject matter and your passion to learn." Fear of failure is a negative attitude; wanting to do well is a positive attitude when it demonstrates a quest for personal satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. Success requires more than just academic achievement. You must not only know but also understand basic concepts and principles. You must be able to think critically, and you must be able to apply those concepts/principles in various, often novel, situations. Organizational ability, attention to detail, the ability to be self-directing and to work independently while at the same time having a strong commitment to teamwork are all essential skills and attitudes for successful work in an O.R. WINTER SEMESTER Courses: ST 250 - Clinical Externship (Instructional contact hours: 16). The student obtains supervised clinical externship experience in hospital and ambulatory operating rooms. Evaluation of each student’s progress in the theoretical, behavioral, and practical application of concepts of surgical technology will help determine their final grade. This program works in conjunction with our community to offer clinical externship experiences at Ascension St. Mary's Medical Center in Saginaw, Ascension St. Mary’s Towne Centre, Covenant Healthcare System in Saginaw, Bay Regional Medical Center in Bay City, and MyMichigan Health in Midland and Alma, Hurley Medical Center in Flint, McLaren Flint, as well as Mackinaw Surgery Center in Saginaw. Periodically, our clinical affiliates will offer our students a paid externship. This is determined by each clinical affiliation and changes annually. These offerings are discussed during orientation and in the fall semester once we hear from the clinical sites. During the fall semester, each student will be asked to state their three preferences, and these are considered when scheduling your clinical rotation. Regardless of paid externships the goal of each placement is to fulfill graduation requirements as well as secure you a position upon graduation. Each clinical placement will be determined by several factors’ student preference, student skill level, and matching the personality to the clinical site. Note: Any or all the clinical assignments may require that you travel outside your home community. The Clinical Rotation schedule for 2025 will be: Rotation I: January 9 –March 3 Rotation II: March 13 – April 28 (with Spring Break March 4th- March 12th) You will be required to maintain a daily case log, recording all your activities and participation in at least 120 surgical procedures. On the form, "1S" stands for First Scrub, which means that you have had the primary responsibility for the Mayo Stand and for passing during the case. "2S" stands for Second Scrub, which means that you were standing across the Mayo from the primary Scrub Person or were at the Back Table and you were assisting the primary Scrub Person. The "A" role designates that you were acting as a Second Assistant on the case: holding retractors, sponging or suctioning, cutting sutures, etc. and "O" means that you were simply observing, whether you were scrubbed in or not. You will also be keeping a record called "Counted Cases for Accreditation Reports", which I will explain more fully on the last class day in December, during the orientation to the Winter Semester. At that time, I will also explain the Weekly Report and how to set goals for the following week. At the end of each rotation, the Clinical Instructor for the department and/or appropriate preceptors will complete a Clinical Evaluation Form for each of you for that rotation, assessing your knowledge, skills, and attitudes and behaviors. (During the orientation to the Winter Semester, I will pass out the Clinical Evaluation forms so that during the between-semester break you can read over exactly how you will be evaluated during the Externship.) At the end of the semester, I will assess all of the Clinical Evaluations, together with my own personal observations and discussions I have had with department staff and surgeons during the semester, and I will then assign a Final Grade for the clinical course. All of the rules and regulations regarding this course can be found in the document that follows this, entitled Clinical Externship. At the end of each rotation, you will be asked to fill out an evaluation of the clinical site and any preceptors you may have worked with. At the end of the year, I will share these comments with the Clinical Instructors (taking care to maintain the anonymity of the sources), so that they can receive input about how they are doing. ST 251 W - Operating Room Seminar (Instructional contact hours: 3). Discusses patient-monitoring devices and diagnostic tests, abnormalities and correlations with surgical patient conditions, and surgery for traumatic injuries. Includes discussion of students’ clinical experiences, the professional role of the Surgical Technologist, general review, assigned research studies, and a cultural diversity project. All course policies and the grading scale that were defined for the Fall Semester will be in effect for ST 251W during the Winter Semester. In addition to the new material that we will be covering in this course, we will spend some time at the beginning of each class discussing your clinical experiences. Toward the end of the semester, we will review material learned during the year, both for the comprehensive Final Exam and as preparation for your taking the national Certifying Exam. It is an expectation of this program that, as a professional, you will become a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST). You will be required to complete surgical case studies in several surgical specialties. These case studies will be graded for content and will become part of your capstone portfolio. You will be required to participate in a civic engagement assignment. You will have more information on the first day of class regarding this requirement. We will spend the later part of the class preparing for the National Certification Exam. You will purchase and take the HESI exam which will give you feedback on what areas of study you need to concentrate on. This and your study guide will help prepare you for the exam. On the last day of the semester, you will be taking the National Certification Exam. This is a requirement for graduation from the program. CLINICAL EXTERNSHIP Tips to be Successful 1. Always eat breakfast! 2. You are responsible for providing your own transportation to clinical sites. Be sure you use the appropriate parking facilities at each hospital. If this is not mentioned during your orientation, ask about where you should park. 3. Be dressed and in the department, ready to perform your duties, by your assigned starting time. 4. You are expected to act in a responsible and professional manner with regard to absenteeism and tardiness. If you are late or will be absent, you must call the department before your assigned starting time. Talk to or leave a message for your preceptor at the phone number for the department that is listed on the third page of your Clinical Rotation Schedule. You will need to make an additional call and leave a phone message: one to the department's Clinical Coordinator. If you do not reach the Clinical Coordinator, you must contact the Program Coordinator. A student who reports late more than three times during a rotation will receive a written warning and will be required to make up 1/2 day at the end of the semester for every 3 times tardy. (In the event that a tardiness is beyond your control, your preceptor or the Clinical Instructor will make the determination as to what course of action, if any, will be taken.) It is imperative that professionals consider patient care as well as consideration for fellow workers when deciding if they are too sick to work. If you are ill, give the department an estimate of when you expect to return; if that estimate changes, notify your preceptor. The decision to send a student home sick will be made by the department supervisor in accordance with the procedures established by that individual institution, and that will count as a sick day. In the event of a serious illness, your standing in the program will be evaluated by the Program Coordinator, the department's Clinical Instructor, and your physician. You will be required to have a physician's excuse to be readmitted to the clinical area under the following circumstances: a. You have missed two consecutive days. b. You have a communicable disease or an infected skin lesion. c. You have called in sick the day before or after a holiday/vacation day. Absent days in the clinical area are not to exceed three days during the semester. Anyone who exceeds three days during the semester may be removed from the program. This will be discussed with the student and will be determined on an individual basis. Only excusable absences will allow the student to remain in the program and make the time up. Arrangements for clinical make-up days will be made by the student with the clinical site and approved by the Clinical Coordinator. Absenteeism and tardiness will be recorded and will be considered in your evaluation and final grade in the course. Absence or tardiness without notification could result in dismissal from the program. The first occurrence will result in a written warning; a second occurrence will result in immediate dismissal from the program. 5. It is recognized that weather conditions can vary considerably within the Delta College district, but please make every effort (within reason) to make it to the hospital under adverse weather conditions. When Delta College is officially closed ("Snow Day" declared), the following rules will apply: a. If the announcement for cancellation of classes is made prior to the student's departure for the clinical site, the clinical activities for that day will be cancelled. b. If the student has already arrived at the clinical site before being aware that Delta classes have been canceled, the student can choose whether to go home again or to stay and participate in the day's clinical activities. c. If the announcement for cancellation of classes is made after the scheduled start of the day's clinical activities, the clinical activities for that day will continue as scheduled. d. If a student has to leave the clinical area due to weather conditions or some weatherrelated situation, it will be handled as any other "personal" or "sick" day. e. In the event of fire, power outage, or some other condition that affects only the Delta College campus, the student should report to the clinical site and clinical activities will continue as scheduled. f. If a student is being paid on externship it is their responsibility to have a conversation of expectations with the OR manager at their facility. Some students may be asked to report even when Delta College is closed or delayed. This includes holidays. 6. During clinical, you need to follow the hospital dress code. The facility will provide you with scrubs. No jewelry should be worn to the clinical site and nails should be free of nail polish and trimmed ¼ inch. Your name tag, designating you as a student, must be worn at all times. In some hospitals, a hospital ID badge must be obtained and worn (provided without cost by the facility). If so both tags should be worn by the student. 7. You will adhere to Standard Precautions and all other safety practices at all times. Students in an off-campus clinical setting will be provided with PPE according to that facility's policies and in accordance with the MIOSHA standard. You are to wear eye protection whenever you are scrubbed on a case and at any other time when an eye splash incident could be anticipated. 8. Breaks: Coffee breaks between cases may be taken if time allows. (Students may not have the opportunity for breaks because they generally take longer to prepare for cases.) Take a break only if you are assigned to do so by your preceptor or circulator. Be sure to communicate properly letting room personnel know where you are. Coffee breaks usually are no more than 10 minutes and no more than two a day. Do not leave the department during breaks unless that is an accepted practice. 9. Lunch breaks: Take lunch breaks with your assigned preceptor/scrub person or as designated by your room circulator or Clinical Instructor. Always let your circulator know where you are. Lunch breaks are 30 minutes. If you are leaving the department, be sure to observe the proper protocol regarding apparel and shoe covers. 10. Physician and dental appointments are to be scheduled after school hours. In the event that this is not possible, you must inform your preceptor/Clinical Instructor and the Program Coordinator three days prior to the appointment and again the morning of the appointment. This will be recorded as an "excused absence" and the time may need to be made up. 11. If you are injured or become ill during clinical hours, you must report that to the Clinical Instructor and/or department supervisor. You will be allowed to have access to the same health care services utilized by employees of that department. However, you must be prepared to pay for such services yourself; neither the hospital nor Delta College provides health insurance coverage for you. Upon completion of treatment, you are to report back to the Clinical Instructor and/or department supervisor and comply with whatever instructions are given at that time. If you are exposed or suspect exposure to a communicable disease, you must report the incident immediately to the Clinical Instructor and/or department supervisor and comply with any requirements for evaluation of the situation. In the case of needle-sticks or injury with sharps, you must follow the department's protocol for reporting penetrating injuries and participate in any follow-up testing that the department may require (at your own expense). Such injury must also be reported to the Program Coordinator as soon as possible. Documentation of all injuries and treatment will be maintained by the college and by the hospital each according to its own prescribed manner. You are not an employee of the hospital and are not eligible for any Workman's Compensation claims for any injury or illness sustained during clinical hours. 12. If your room is finished, you may not sit around for the rest of the day or go home (unless special permission is granted by your Clinical Instructor -- see below). Your assigned preceptor/scrub person may have other duties to attend to with which you can help (restocking rooms, preparing for the next day, etc.) or you may be able to help out in the instrument room, etc. Check to see if your Clinical Instructor has another assignment for you. I will not accept that there is nothing more to be done around an Operating Room (even if everyone else is sitting in the lounge) or that you can learn nothing more about where supplies are located! And there are always Preference Cards and instrument catalogues! You may leave for the day prior to the assigned time only if all the following criteria have been met: a. The operating room to which you are assigned is finished for the day, cleaned and stocked. b. All case preparation and student experience records are up to date. c. There are no educationally beneficial cases to observe. d. You have checked with other operating rooms for stock lists and have gathered and delivered the requested supplies. e. The decontamination and/or sterile supply areas do not require extra help. f. The Clinical Instructor determines that your services are no longer required and gives permission for you to leave early. 13. In the event you wish to remain with a case in progress beyond your assigned clinical day (i.e. after class hours), you must first obtain permission to do so from the department supervisor on the understanding that the hospital assumes all responsibility for your presence and actions. 14. Your daily case log is to be kept current and in your folder. This record provides a means to monitor your activities, skill level, and variety of experiences, and it assists the Clinical Instructor in determining your assignments. You are also responsible for maintaining the record referred to as Cases Counted for Accreditation Reports (a record that is required for the program's accreditation). Each and every time you have performed one of the procedures listed in the role of either the First Scrub with Assist or First Scrub Solo, you need to have your preceptor confirm that participation and sign the form. This list is also to be kept current and in your folder in the department. Upon graduation, these records will remain on permanent file at the college, as will your clinical evaluation forms. (If you wish to submit a record of the cases you have participated in with a job application after graduation, I will provide you with a means to do that. You may not make copies of any evaluation forms unless you have the express written permission from the evaluator to do so. Ask me about this later in the semester.) 15. Each day, before you leave for the day, be sure that your case logs and all other paperwork are up to date and that you have checked for your assignment for the following day. You case logs must be legible as they become part of your permanent record. 16. Every evening, research the cases you expect to be doing the next day. It may be helpful to write out a procedure sheet for any new cases. Adequate preparation for a surgical procedure is necessary to allow you to participate safely in the care of the patient. A procedure sheet should include: patient position and area of skin prep; draping sequence; synopsis of the procedure; special instruments, supplies, equipment, and suture preferences; any special considerations, back-table medications, and/or techniques. (A suggested format will be distributed.) 17. At the end of each week, fill out a Weekly Report about your experiences and discuss this with your preceptor and/or Clinical Instructor. Then determine a few realistic objectives for yourself for the following week, being as specific as possible. Share your weekly goals with your Clinical Instructor, preceptor, and the room staff with whom you are working. Assess your progress each week and solicit their input. 18. As a student, your responsibility is to perform to the standards of professional practitioners. As we will discuss in ST 210, a patient cannot be subjected to a lower quality of care just because you are a student. This means that you are expected to perform like a competent professional, even though you do not yet have the knowledge or expertise to do so. What are you to do? First of all, be realistic in your assessment of your abilities and acknowledge your limitations. If you have never done something before, communicate that to your preceptor and ask for assistance. Do not attempt to muddle through something if you do not feel confident with it. Remember that the cardinal rule of patient care is Primum non nocere ("First, do no harm"). When you are being instructed in the proper procedure, whether by observing someone else performing the task or being "talked through" doing it yourself, ask questions. that will expand your understanding. Your responsibility is to learn the information you need so that you will be able to perform the task independently later. Learn all you can and develop your performance abilities at every opportunity. 19. Remember: Your clinical time will go fast. It is to your benefit to get as much experience as possible. By the end of the semester, you will be expected to be able to function as an entrylevel employee. You will gain from the clinical experience only as much as you put into it. Just remember that there will come a time when you do not have another person with you to back you up or to hold your hand! 20. When expectations regarding levels of clinical performance are not being met, a verbal warning will be communicated to the student, and the reasons for the warning and possible methods for remediation or correction will be discussed between the student and the Program Coordinator (and possibly with your preceptor and/or Clinical Instructor also present). If, after an appropriate time period, clinical performance is still not deemed to be within acceptable limits, a written notice will be issued. The written notice will define in what way(s) performance expectations are not being met, will state that the student is formally being placed on probation, will delineate guidelines for the improvement of performance, and will specify a deadline for improvement. If improvements are not satisfactory within the allotted time frame, the student may be asked to withdraw from the program or will be issued a failing grade for the Clinical Externship (and therefore not complete the program). The student has the option to appeal such a ruling as per College policies. 21. Unsafe performance is defined as clinical behavior that jeopardizes the patient's safety even though actual harm to the patient may not ensue.

It’s a cohort program, so you come in as a group and take your classes together from your first semester until your last. Each semester in the PTA program builds on the previous semester, and every semester requires full-time dedication to ensure success. Students should plan to spend many hours outside of class studying and practicing their skills. While most of our PTA courses are offered on campus during the day, occasional commitments on evenings or weekends may arise for special events. With a vast selection of clinical sites available, students have the opportunity to tailor their experiential learning to their preferences. ### Professional licensure Students must take and pass the national physical therapy examination to practice as a PTA. Once a student passes the exam, they are eligible to practice anywhere in the country. However, there may be additional paperwork and costs associated with licensure in some states. Please contact the program coordinator for more details. At Delta College, we want every student to get the best education so they're ready to hit the ground running when they graduate. Accreditation is one way we do that. The Physical Therapist Assistant program at Delta College is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). If needing to contact the program/institution directly, please call 989-686-9316 or email [christopherhausbeck@delta.edu](mailto:christopherhausbeck@delta.edu) 3030 Potomac Ave., Suite 100 Alexandria, VA 22305-3085 703-706-3245 [accreditationsupport@apta.org](mailto:accreditationsupport@apta.org)[www.capteonline.org](http://www.capteonline.org/) Michigan and national association involvement Delta College PTA students and faculty are actively involved with the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) as well as the Michigan chapter of the APTA. Faculty members and students alike have been elected to various volunteer positions within the association, in addition to garnering praises and awards for their contributions. Student club and service projects Every student enrolled in the PTA program is encouraged to become a member of the PTA Club. The PTA Club serves as an avenue to foster community engagement, provide valuable service and participate in professional development all while having fun together as a class. Examples of PTA Club initiatives include distributing complimentary assistive devices to local residents, participating in state and/or national conferences, organizing a campus-wide 5K run/walk event and actively volunteering within the community.

This application may be submitted any time during the semester in which you will finish your prerequisite (validation) courses. Success tips - Declare the Physical Therapist Assistant program. - Meet with your Student Success Advisor regularly. Stay on track with what you need to do to apply for validation. - Plan and register for courses. - Apply for validation with the Registrar’s Office once you’ve started your final semester of prerequisite courses. - Stay connected via email, the website and/or social media for important updates from Delta!

The radiographer is ulti Radiographers are responsible for the creation of medical x-ray images, the operation of radiologic equipment and the care of patients. The radiographer is ultimately responsible for providing the highest quality images with the lowest radiation exposure to the patient. Radiography is a branch of medical imaging that uses radiation to capture images of various body parts—bones, vessels, organs—and bodily functions, such as digestion and circulation. The images captured by radiographers are vital for physicians and other medical professionals to interpret, diagnose and treat patients' illness, injury and/or health concerns. Through this program, you'll become a radiology health professional qualified to perform radiographic examinations ordered by licensed practitioners, such as physicians and chiropractors. You must also be prepared to recognize emergency patient conditions and initiate lifesaving first aid. Radiographers are health professionals who work in hospitals, imaging centers, urgent care centers, physician offices and industrial sites. As a radiographer you could also obtain extra training, either on the job or via an educational program, to advance into specialty imaging areas such as computed tomography (CT), cardiovascular interventional imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or mammography. ## Program details Our degree prepares you for a career in radiography. ### Degree info Associate in Applied Science #### Radiography - **Time & credits** - 7 semesters 83.5 credits - [Course information](/programs/radiography/courses-aas-20515/) - **In-person/online** - Blended - **Estimated tuition & fees** - $15,137 (in-district) $23,729 (out-of-district) $24,714 (out-of-state) ### There's more Education for radiographers is rigorous and includes classroom, laboratory and clinical experience.

As a surgical technologist, you'll prepare the operating room by creating a sterile field, setting up surgical equipment, supplies and solutions. During surgery, you will pass instruments, fluids and supplies to the surgeon, and prepare and manage surgical equipment. The clinical portion of this program is two semesters long, starting in the fall. It's a cohort program, meaning you and your classmates will start as a group and take your classes together throughout the program. You'll get plenty of hands-on experience with more than 540 clinical hours, with a variety of hospitals/surgical centers to choose from to complete your clinical assignments. Delta College graduates are being recruited by hospitals all over Michigan. Over the last several years, many students have received employment offers prior to graduating. There is a strong need for surgical technologists locally and nationally. Certifications earned through this program are recognized nationwide. This program is accredited by CAAHEP and graduates will be eligible to sit for the National Certifying Exam administered by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting. Delta's Surgical Technology program started in 1974. We believe our vast experience over such a long time period is one reason why our students have high pass rates on the Certified Surgical Technology Exam. Delta grads consistently average higher pass rates than the national average pass rate. ## Program details Our degree prepares you for a career in surgical technology. In addition to the Surgical Technology associate degree, Delta also offers a dual degree with General Management. With this program, you have the opportunity to earn a second associate degree in General Management at the same time as your surgical technology associate's degree.

You will be keeping a spreadsheet record called “Counted Cases for Accreditation Reports.” **The total number of cases you must complete to meet graduation requirements is 120.** 2. You are required to complete 30 cases in General Surgery. Twenty of the cases must be in the first ccrub role. 3. You are required to complete 90 cases in various surgical specialties outside of general surgery. Sixty of the cases must be in the first scrub role and evenly distributed between a minimum of four surgical specialties. A minimum of ten cases in the first scrub role must be completed in each of the required minimum of four surgical specialties (40 cases total required). The remaining 20 cases in the first scrub role may be distributed amongst any one surgical specialty or multiple surgical specialties. 4. You will be recording for verification (through clinical documentation) your progression of your ability to first or second scrub surgical procedures of increased complexity as you move toward entry-level graduate abilities. 5. Diagnostic endoscopy cases and vaginal delivery cases are not mandatory. However, up to ten diagnostic endoscopic cases and five vaginal delivery cases can be counted toward the maximum number of cases in the second scrub role. 6. You must maintain a record of your cases in the observation role but these cases cannot be counted toward the 120 required cases. 7. There will be times when you may be involved in multiple procedures on the same patient. Here are a few scenarios and how to count them. 1. Cases will be counted according to surgical specialty.  For example: 1. A trauma patient requires a splenectomy and repair of a LeFort I fracture.  Two cases can be counted and documented; the splenectomy as a general surgery case and the LeFort I as an oral-maxillofacial specialty. 2. A patient requires a breast biopsy followed by a mastectomy.  It is one pathology (breast cancer) and the specialty is general surgery.  Therefore, it is counted and documented as one procedure. ## Transfer One of the best things about Delta College is that you can start here and go just about anywhere.

Youth services often focus on adolescents suffering from abuse and neglect and those involved in delinquent activities. With your help, these young people can capitalize on their personal strengths and reach their potential.

[See important dates](https://www.delta.edu/calendar/important-dates.html) * * * ### Is there any help for me to pay for college? Yes, there is! There are many forms of financial aid available to help you pay for college.

It’s a good choice to pay for tuition and school expenses. Especially if you don’t have grants I. College employees should receive no personal benefit No employee of the college shall accept a gift or anything of more than nominal value on their behalf or on behalf of another person or entity from any Lending Institution. The term gift means any gratuity, favor, discount, cash, stocks, gifts, entertainment, expense-paid trips or other item having a monetary value of more than a de minimus amount. Likewise, an individual should never receive payment or reimbursement from a Lending Institution for lodging, meals or travel to conferences or training seminars. However, an employee of the college may: 1. conduct non-college business with any Lending Institution and receive value in connection with such non-college business, so long as such value is not intended to influence the employee in conducting college business. 2. conduct college business and receive value on behalf of the college that is unrelated to the student loan activities of the Lending Institution. 3. attend conferences and meetings of tax-exempt organizations that are funded or sponsored by more than one entity and receive materials, refreshments and other things of like value provided at such professional conferences and meetings. 4. hold membership in, serve on the board of or participate in the activities of any tax-exempt organization and receive travel reimbursements and other things of like value from the tax-exempt organization for such activities. 5. receive entrance and exit counseling services provided to borrowers to meet the institution’s responsibilities for entrance and exit counseling as required by the HEA as long as the institution’s staff are in control of the counseling and specific lender’s product and services are not promoted. II. College employees should not serve on lender advisory boards for remuneration No employee of the college who makes financial aid decisions for the college or who is employed in, supervises or otherwise has responsibility or authority over the college’s financial aid office shall receive any remuneration for serving as a member or participant of a student loan advisory board of a Lending Institution or any reimbursement of expenses for such service. Any employee of the college who serves as a member or participant of a Lending Institution board shall recuse themselves from any board discussions regarding the college’s financial aid operations. III. The college should not provide any advantage to a lending institution The college shall not accept anything of value from any Lending Institution in exchange for any advantage or consideration provided to the Lending Institution related to its student loan activities, including but not limited to revenue-sharing, printing costs or below-cost computer hardware or software. Likewise, the college shall not allow any Lending Institution to: 1. staff the college’s Financial Aid Office at any time. 2. communicate with the college’s students or their parents in such a manner as to create the impression that the Lending Institution is an employee or agent of the college in connection with the college’s student financial aid operations, including through the use of mascots, logos, etc. 3. prohibit institutions from assigning, through award packaging or other methods, a first-time borrower’s loan to a particular lender or refuse to certify, or delay certification of, any loan based on the borrower’s selection of a particular lender or guaranty agency. 4. eliminate “opportunity pool loans” by prohibiting institutions from requesting or accepting any offer of funds for private educational loans in exchange for the institution of higher education providing the lender with a specified number of loans or loan volume, or a preferred lender arrangement for Title IV loans. This does not include any private loan that is guaranteed by an institution (i.e. a recourse loan). 5. provide revenue-sharing arrangements on Federal Family Educational Loan Program (FFELP) or Federal Direct loans. Finally, the college shall not enter into any agreement with a Lending Institution to provide alternative (i.e., non-federal or “opportunity”) student loan programs if the provision of such alternative loan programs prejudices other students or parents. IV. The college should make appropriate use of any Preferred Lender Lists If the college decides to promulgate a list or lists of preferred or lender choices for student loans or similar ranking or designation (“Preferred Lender List”), the selection of Lending Institutions for inclusion on the Preferred Lender List shall be based on the best interests of the college’s students and their parents without regard to the financial interests of the college. In addition, any Preferred Lender List shall clearly explain: 1. that students and their parents are free to select the Lending Institution of their choice and will suffer no penalty imposed by the college from using a Lending Institution that is not a “preferred lender.” 2. that students and their parents are not required to use any of the “preferred lenders.” 3. where to find information on other Lending Institutions for student loans. 4. that the college will promptly certify any loan from any Lending Institution selected by a borrower, in accordance with U.S. Department of Education regulations. 5. the process the college utilized to select “preferred lenders,” including, but not limited to, the criteria used and the relative importance of such criteria. 6. where to find information on the competitive interest rates, terms and conditions of federal loans. 7. where to find information on the interest rate, loan servicing or other benefits offered by “preferred lenders.” 8. where to find information on any agreements by “preferred lenders” to sell their loans to other Lending Institutions. The college shall review any Preferred Lender List on an annual basis to determine that the information appearing on the list is accurate and that any web links are still viable. --- ## Tuition, costs and fees URL: https://delta.teamtailwind.com/admission-aid/costs-financial-aid/tuition-costs-fees/ Summary: Delta works hard to keep tuition as low as possible while offering first-rate instruction. As a community college, the taxpayers in Bay, Midland and Saginaw cou We know that cost plays a big role in choosing which college to attend. We think this will help you make your decision! Delta works hard to keep tuition as low as possible while offering first-rate instruction. As a community college, the taxpayers in Bay, Midland and Saginaw counties see higher education as an important part of a vital community. That's why they support the college and how costs can be kept modest in comparison to other colleges and universities. Keep in mind, the costs listed here do not include your meals, housing, transportation or other personal expenses you may have while attending college. Also, these rates are subject to change by the Delta College Board of Trustees. Tuition and fees are based on contact hours, not credit hours. ## 2026-2027 tuition & fees ### Tuition | Residency Status | Cost | | --- | --- | | In-district | $140 per contact hour | | Out-district | $236 per contact hour | | Out-of-state | $247 per contact hour | | Dual Enrollment | $140 per contact hour | If you are a resident of the Delta College district, 60 years of age or older, you may register for courses at 50% of the current tuition rate (excludes fees).

The tuition costs may vary from the number of credits earned in the class because credits are determined by national standards and allow for transferability to other colleges and universities. ### Tuition The money you pay the college for instruction and services. A dollar amount is assigned to each contact hour. Tuition is determined by multiplying the dollar amount by the number of contact hours for which you are registering. In-district, out-of-district and out-of-state tuition rates are different. Tuition, technology fees and the online course fees are charged based on contact hour. All other course-specific fees are determined by the course. ### Registration fee A non-refundable, per semester fee charge upon registration. No refund, unless all courses are canceled by the college. ### Technology fee This fee is based on class contact hours and supports increased use of technology in classrooms, labs, library and Teaching/Learning Center. Additional course-specific fees, such as online, nursing or course content fees are charged to cover additional service relative to those courses. ## Estimated cost of attendance ### 2026-27 Below is a chart detailing the estimated Cost of Attendance for the 2026-27 academic year, based on full-time attendance for fall, winter and spring semesters, totaling 45 contact hours. | Expenses | In-district | Out-of-district | Out-of-state | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tuition | $6,300 | $10,620 | $11,115 | | Technology fee | $1,170 | $1,170 | $1,170 | | Registration fee | $120 | $120 | $120 | | Books, course materials, supplies & equipment | $2,250 | $2,250 | $2,250 | | Transportation | $3,912 | $3,912 | $3,912 | | Miscellaneous | $3,600 | $3,600 | $3,600 | | Living expenses (housing and food)\* | Living with parent: $8,040 Living off campus: $12,024 | Living with parent: $8,040 Living off campus: $12,024 | Living with parent: $8,040 Living off campus: $12,024 | | **Living with parent totals** | $25,392 | $29,712 | $30,207 | | **Living off campus totals** | $29,376 | $33,696 | $34,191 | \*Schools must include a housing component in the cost of attendance for dependent students who are living at home with their parent(s) and that allowance cannot be zero or the same figure as living off campus. \*\*For students receiving Federal Direct Loans, a loan fee will be added to their estimated cost of attendance ($75 for three semesters, $49 for two semesters and $25 for one semester). ### 2025-26 Below is a chart detailing the estimated Cost of Attendance for the 2025-26 academic year, based on full-time attendance for fall, winter and spring semesters, totaling 45 contact hours. | Expenses | In-district | Out-of-district | Out-of-state | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tuition | $6,120 | $10,305 | $10,800 | | Technology fee | $1,125 | $1,125 | $1,125 | | Registration fee | $120 | $120 | $120 | | Books, course materials, supplies & equipment | $2,250 | $2,250 | $2,250 | | Transportation | $3,804 | $3,804 | $3,804 | | Miscellaneous | $3,504 | $3,504 | $3,504 | | Living expenses (housing and food)\* | Living with parent: $7,822 Living off campus: $11,700 | Living with parent: $7,822 Living off campus: $11,700 | Living with parent: $7,822 Living off campus: $11,700 | | **Living with parent totals** | **$24,745** | **$28,930** | **$29,425** | | **Living off campus totals** | **$28,623** | **$32,808** | **$33,303** | \*Schools must include a housing component in the cost of attendance for dependent students who are living at home with their parent(s) and that allowance cannot be zero or the same figure as living off campus. \*\*For students receiving Federal Direct Loans, a loan fee will be added to their estimated cost of attendance ($72 for three semesters, $47 for two semesters and $24 for one semester). ## Books & supplies The costs for books and supplies varies depending on the class.

It allows students to gain valuable work experience while earning money to pay for college expenses. Many students find they can avoid taking out student loans when they have a Work Study job. On-campus student employment is a great way to get work experience while you earn money to help pay for books and other college expenses. Plus, earning money working on campus doesn't affect the amount of financial aid you get. Also, it doesn’t count as income when you apply for financial aid next year. So, it's a win, win! How much can you earn through Work Study? That depends on how much your financial aid package says you can get. But, every little bit helps! Even if you use all of your work study money, it’s possible for your employers to choose to keep you on board for the rest of the semester. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Work Study pay for my classes? Work Study won't pay for the cost of your classes. It's money that you earn by working—just like any job. * * * ### What happens next if I've been awarded Work Study? You'll want to make sure you accept your award by going to your Delta Financial Aid Self-Service account. After that, you can start applying for a job!

Additional resources that can help you help choose the career path that fits your interests, skills and personality can be found on our [career discovery](https://students.delta.edu/career-discovery/index.html) page. * * * ### How much does Work Study pay?

These same credits can be used towards an Associate degree, Through dual enrollment classes, you get college credits while you're in high school. Qualified high school students can earn college credits to fulfill high school graduation requirements. These same credits can be used toward the Michigan Transfer Agreement, an advanced certificate or one of Delta's many occupational and transfer associate's degrees. You can do all of this while saving yourself time and money! It's never too early to start thinking about your future. Talk to your high school guidance counselor today. ## Dual enrollment—a success story. Last year, more than 1,900 students earned 18,999 college credits through Delta's dual enrollment program. According to the U.S. Department of Education, college credit earned prior to high school graduation reduces the average time-to-degree and increases the likelihood of graduation for participating students. There is also evidence that dual enrollment increases academic performance and educational attainment. [MI School Data](https://www.mischooldata.org/dual-enrollment/) provides numerous facts and figures showing that dual enrollment participants are more likely than non-participants to graduate high school, go on to college and complete college degrees. Not only do dual enrolled students earn credit—they are among Delta's highest academic achievers! ## Why choose Delta? We were hoping you would ask. So many students, after graduating or transferring on, say Delta was the best decision they ever made. - Delta's credits transfer easily.  - Your high school often pays for your classes and related fees. - Have access to a much wider range of classes that aren’t available in high school. - Classes may be taught within the high school, on the college campus, at one of our downtown centers or online. - Take a few courses to get a head start or complete an entire associate's degree.  - We have the supports you need to feel confident about pursuing a college degree while you’re finishing your high school education. * * * - ## Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) Know you want to transfer credit, but unsure where to start? Start with the MTA. It's versatile and accepted at nearly all Michigan universities. [Learn about the MTA](/academics/transfer/michigan-transfer-agreement/) * * * ## What is the cost to dual enroll? At Delta, all dual enrolled students, no matter where you live, pay our lowest tuition rate, the [in-district tuition rate](/admission-aid/costs-financial-aid/tuition-costs-fees/). And families save money on college costs, because school districts usually pay the tuition and fees for dual enrollment students. Each high school is different in terms of whether it covers most or all of the costs. Check with your high school guidance counselor to find out how to get started in classes at Delta College. ### School sponsored dual enrollment All students should meet with their high school counselor or designated high school official to discuss eligibility and dual enrollment opportunities. Once approved, the [dual enrollment authorization form (PDF)](/admission-aid/documents/authorization-form-dual-enrollment/) will be filled out by your high school guidance counselor with you and your parent/guardian's signature is required. In many cases your high school will make full payment for you to take classes. If the amount your school pays does not cover the full cost, you will need to pay the difference by the payment deadline. ### Self-pay dual enrollment Tuition and fees are due by the payment due date each semester. Students who have not paid for their classes by the end of the business day on the payment due date may be dropped from their classes. Payments may be made online through [Student Self-Service](https://ss.delta.edu/Student?hideProxyDialog=false). Or contact the Cashier’s Office at 989-686-9394 to pay by phone. ### Steps to apply as a dual enrolled student Follow the [dual enrollment checklist (PDF)](/admission-aid/documents/dual-enrollment-checklist/) to begin taking classes at Delta College. 1.

Participation in an EMC may begin as early as grade 9. Students must declare their intent to participate in the EMC before they begin grade 11. EMC participants follow a deliberately designed course of study. Students may earn a college degree and/or a certificate by taking some college classes during grades 9-12 and then attend college full time during grade 13. Classes are taken at high school, a college campus or in a blended format (part on-line and part classroom). The student’s Educational Development Plan (EDP) must reflect the 5th year of instruction and is signed by the student, the parent and school official. Students can walk with their class at graduation; however, their diploma will be held until the completion of their 13th year. Research clearly demonstrates the value of completing post-secondary training. Students earning an associate’s degree (or higher) or a vocational certification have a lifetime earning potential of nearly $1 million more than a student who completes a high school diploma with no additional training. An Early College provides a 5th year of support and college/vocational funding to high school students who choose to take advantage of this opportunity. Students electing to participate in the college path benefit from entering their new college with college credit, while maintaining freshman scholarship opportunities. Early College students have full graduation privileges. They will walk with their graduating class and are eligible to participate in the same activities afforded to students with senior class status. However, learner’s high school diplomas are awarded following the completion of their fifth academic year in the Early College program. High School students are eligible to participate in high school athletics through their senior year. In November of 2022 the House Bills 6039 and 6040 were passed amending the Postsecondary Options Act and Career and Technical Preparation Act regarding Early Middle College (EMC) fifth year students participating in collegiate athletics. Starting in the fall of 2023, fifth year Early Middle College students may participate in collegiate athletics if the student has completed all their high school graduation requirements, exhausted their high school athletic eligibility, and received written approval from the NJCAA prior to participation in NJCAA athletics. NJCAA student athletes must be enrolled full-time at the college, which is 12 or more credits, and they are allowed two seasons of intercollegiate eligibility.

Here are the most common questions we receive.

There are a few key things you can do to help make sure college costs are covered. [Learn more about costs and financial aid](/admission-aid/costs-financial-aid/) Yes! In fact, starting at Delta is an excellent idea. Most of our credits are easily transferrable to four-year universities and tuition is more than half the cost so your student is much less likely to incur debt. If your student is planning on transferring to a university in Michigan, then they'll definitely want to consider the **Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)**. MTA makes it very easy for a student to complete their general education courses at a community college before transferring on. We've also got **transfer agreements** in place with most universities across Michigan. These agreements allow a student to take courses at Delta that will transfer directly into their intended major at their transfer university. [Learn about transfer opportunities](/academics/transfer/) Make sure you're aware of all Delta's important dates. Classes fill up quick so your student will want to register early to avoid waitlists. And if they don't pay tuition by the payment deadline, they'll be at risk of being dropped from their courses. You can help them avoid these situations by reminding them of all the important deadlines. [See upcoming important dates](/admission-aid/registration/) The **Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)** protects the confidentiality of Delta College students. After enrolling at Delta, even if they are under 18, parents or guardians are not granted access to their student's records. In compliance with FERPA, Delta College maintains: - Delta College officials, including administrators and instructors cannot discuss the specifics of a student's academic, financial and/or disciplinary situation, unless the student is present and willingly agrees to share the information. - All correspondence from Delta College regarding academic, financial and/or disciplinary issues is addressed to the student and mailed to the address the student has listed. [Learn more about FERPA](https://www.delta.edu/transparency/ferpa.html) You can always contact the Advising office with general questions about programs and classes. However, keep in mind that they cannot share any specific information about your student's records without the student being present and willingly agreeing to share the information. No. However, your student can access their final grades using [Student Self-Service](https://ss.delta.edu/Student/Student/Grades).

If you completed a career technical education (CTE) or high school course with a grade of B or higher, within two years of high school graduation you are eligible for articulated credit. Eligible courses that can be articulated are listed below by school. 1. At the end of every school year our partners send Delta College articulation applications for each student that successfully completes one or more of the eligible courses within their articulation programs.  2. You'll need to [apply to Delta](/admission-aid/apply/) as a new student. Once you have been admitted to the college and you have met all the criteria for high school or technical center articulation, appropriate credits will be placed on your transcript as articulated credit. There is no charge for these credits.  3. If you do not see articulation credit on your Delta College transcript, you can reach out to your high school or career technical center. A representative from your school is required to complete the approved Student Articulation Application on file and send directly to Delta's Articulation Office at [articulation@delta.edu](mailto:articulation@delta.edu?subject=Student%20Request%20for%20Articulation%20Credit). ### Will the credits transfer to another college? Articulated high school or technical center credit is intended to be used toward the attainment of a completed degree at Delta, and is not intended for additional transfer. You should check with the college or university you are transferring to from Delta in order to see if the credits are eligible for transfer, visit our Transfer Agreements. ## Current agreements Articulation agreements give you an opportunity to earn college credit if your high school or area technical career center courses are articulated with Delta College courses.

We’ll help you create a transfer pathway that’s perfect for you. You’ll experience a smooth transition because Delta College has partne Transfer, The Delta Way. We’ll help you create a transfer pathway that’s perfect for you. You’ll experience a smooth transition because Delta College has partnerships with Michigan universities, and beyond. And the key benefit? You'll save thousands of dollars in tuition and fees. Delta offers 90-, 60- and 30-credit transfer options. We’ll work with you to find and build the best transfer pathway for you. Developing a customized plan with your Student Success Advisor is the best way to ensure your courses will transfer to your chosen university, you stay on track and that you take as many courses here as possible to maximize your savings. You’re not alone. More than 50% of Delta students transfer on to complete their bachelor’s degree, and 36% go even further to earn a master's or other advanced degree. Plan ahead so every credit transfers with you, wherever you are going. You can be confident your Delta credits will be accepted at hundreds of four-year institutions. And, you may just have a jump on other students when you get there. Students who spend their first two years at Delta College are often better prepared for their junior year than non-transfer students. ## Ways to maximize your credit transfer - ## Transfer (articulation) agreements Delta has dozens of pre-approved transfer pathways in place with many colleges and universities. These pathways are called articulation agreements. Often referred to as 2+2 or 3+1 agreements, they allow you to transfer 62 (2 years) or 90 (3 years) of Delta credits to your transfer institution. Many offer online bachelor completion options and transfer scholarships. Explore our Transfer Path Finder to sort our most popular agreements by university or area of interest. [Go to the Transfer Path Finder](/academics/transfer/transfer-path-finder/) ### Other ways to go about it #### Delta transfer guides and degrees If you’re planning to transfer, you’ll likely enroll in an Associate of Arts, Associate of General Studies or Associate of Science degree. Sometimes called pre-bachelor's tracks, these 62-credit programs are very customizable. They are also often used as the foundation of transfer guides which are created by partner universities. Browse the many options or contact your Student Success Advisor to figure out the best classes to take at Delta that will transfer in your area of study at your university of choice. [Learn about pre-bachelor's guides](/academics/transfer/pre-bachelors-guides/) #### MiTransfer and MiWorkforce pathways These statewide transfer agreements allow you to transfer your associate's degree (usually 62 credits), including specific major courses, to your chosen university’s bachelor's degree program. There are a handful of these, and they’re very specific to the major and the university, but check them out, they’re pre-authorized and therefore a good option. [Learn more about MiTransfer](/academics/transfer/mitransfer/) #### Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) Know you want to transfer, but unsure where to start? Start with the MTA. The MTA allows you to transfer a minimum of 30 credits to meet general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree at most Michigan colleges and universities. You enroll in classes from a variety of general education categories and earn a C or higher in each course to fulfill the MTA. The MTA fits within Delta’s Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees, so once you narrow down your transfer destination you can seamlessly continue in your Delta degree as you finish specific major courses. [Learn more about MTA](/academics/transfer/michigan-transfer-agreement/) #### University Transfer Center Get expert advice on credit transfer, programs of study, scholarships and housing directly from your future university. Delta has a University Transfer Center where several university representatives maintain offices and others routinely visit, so you can talk directly with them about your transfer plans. [Visit the University Transfer Center](/academics/transfer/transfer-center/) #### Course transfer Of course, if you’re looking to transfer just a course or two, you can do that too. To see how your Delta courses transfer to other colleges and universities, visit the [Michigan Transfer Network](http://www.mitransfer.org/) to view transfer course equivalencies. 95% of recent grads said they were happy with the way their credits transferred.

This agreement is the result of registrars from Michigan public and independent colleges and universities working together to facilitate the transfer of general education requirements from one institution to another. In general, the agreement meets one year of general education requirements for a bachelor's degree. Another feature of the program is that it offers flexibility and customization in course selection. ## MTA requirements - English Composition – 1 course - English Composition or Communications – 1 course - Humanities – 2 courses from 2 subject areas - Mathematics – 1 course  - Natural Science – 2 courses from 2 subject areas, 1 course must be a laboratory science - Social Science – 2 courses from 2 subject areas - Minimum of 30 credits, courses must be completed with a C (2.0) or higher [See list of approved courses](https://catalog.delta.edu/content.php?catoid=15&navoid=2293) To see a list of approved MTA courses and to help plan your schedule, you can also download our [MTA planning worksheet (PDF)](/academics/documents/transfer-mta-worksheet/). ### Interested?

These Transferring to a four-year college or university from Delta is now even simpler thanks to transfer agreements with 30 Michigan colleges and universities. These agreements allow you to transfer more credits in several areas of study, making it easier for you to complete essential courses before deciding where to transfer. ## How it works The objective of the MiTransfer Pathway Initiative is to make the overall transfer experience more efficient, easier to understand and simpler to navigate. Faculty from across the state have identified major-specific courses that you can take in your associate degree program as a transfer pathway to the bachelor’s degree program at your future university. The MiTransfer Pathways statewide agreement builds on the [Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)](/academics/transfer/michigan-transfer-agreement/). The MTA allows transfer students to select designated courses to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours to fulfill MTA distribution requirements. Students following MiTransfer Pathway agreements should select courses that meet the MTA and the recommended MiTransfer Pathways major-specific courses when completing their [Associate in Arts](/programs/associate-in-arts/) or [Associate in Science](/programs/associate-in-science/) degree at Delta. The agreements are different from others because they outline major-specific courses that students should complete while enrolled at Delta. **MiWorkforce pathways are currently in place for the following areas:** - Applied business - General applied science - Healthcare - Information technology ## More information Delta advisors are available to assist students in planning a course schedule and explain how those courses apply to degree programs at the participating universities.

In addition to the articulation agreements found through the [Transfer Path Finder](/academics/transfer/transfer-path-finder/), many colleges and universities create transfer guides to assist you in the transfer process. Of the schools that have guides, however, many do not offer guides for all majors. If you cannot find a transfer guide for your intended major or pathway or need more information, contact the academic department at the university where you plan to transfer or talk with your Delta Student Success Advisor. ## Transfer guides To view the transfer opportunities available to you, select the school you plan to transfer to after you leave Delta College from the list below. Although we work closely with these institutions, we strongly recommend you contact the university you plan to transfer to early on in your college career so they can guide you through your journey. ## What's my program? When you're planning to transfer you would usually enroll in one of Delta's three flexible, transfer-friendly associate programs: [Associate of Arts](/programs/associate-in-arts/), [Associate of Science](/programs/associate-in-science/) or Associate in General Studies. These programs are very customizable and work well with most transfer guides and articulation agreements.

Thanks to patients like you, students can obtain their education through clinical experience. Our patients participate in a number of scheduled four-hour appointments where students provide dental hygiene care under the supervision of their instructors who are licensed dental hygienists, licensed dental assistants and licensed dentists. You’ll get to take a copy of your dental documents and x-rays to share with your home dental office. The best part about the Dental Clinic may be the fee. The clinic is an educational resource for our students, therefore the fee is minimal. We can let you know what the approximate fee is when you schedule your appointment. The Dental Clinic does not accept insurance.

We want you to think big about your future, and the Office of Disability Resources is here to help. We welcome and support a diverse student body. Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society. ## Our philosophy We strive to create an equitable, accessible environment for all students to independently learn, work and grow. If an aspect of the physical, academic or electric design impacts the student’s ability to take full advantage of the educational environment, we will work to either change the design or create an appropriate accommodation. A qualified student is able to participate in the Delta setting, with or without accommodations. ## What is a disability? The Americans with Disability Act defines a person with a disability as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. Possible disabilities include, but are not limited to: - Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) - Specific Learning Disability (SLD) in math and/or reading - Psychiatric disability - Mobility impairment - Visual impairment - Hearing impairment - Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - Chronic medical conditions - Temporary conditions, including but not limited to, concussions, outpatient procedures and contagious illnesses - Recovery related to Substance Use Disorder ## What is a reasonable accommodation? If symptoms related to a disability create a barrier in the learning environment, reasonable accommodations can be provided to fully access Delta educational programs and services. According to the Americans with Disability Act 2008, a reasonable accommodation is an adjustment to the environment that will enable a qualified student with a disability to equitably participate in the academic environment. Reasonable accommodation assures that a student with a disability has the rights and privileges equal to a student without a disability. A reasonable accommodation will not compromise any essential element of the curriculum, weaken academic standards or create a likely safety hazard. A reasonable accommodation is neither specialized education nor a modification to the curriculum. ## Meet with us We realize each student's experience is individual to them. If you have a documented disability that substantially limits your ability to fully access Delta's environment, you are invited to meet with the Director of Disability Resources. The confidential meeting will determine how/if your documented disability creates a functional limitation in the Delta College environment. Determination is based on a combination of your condition, experience, current or anticipated barriers, educational history, past accommodations and documentation. Suggested documentation to bring to the meeting: - High School IEP or 504 - Psychoeducational assessment - Diagnostic documentation from a qualified, licensed professional (medical doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist or clinical social worker)  - [Psychiatric Conditions Form (PDF)](/student-life/documents/psychiatric-condition-form/) - [Physical/Medical Conditions Form (PDF)](/student-life/documents/physical-or-medical-conditions/) If you don't have documentation, you can submit a [Request for Records/Release of Information form (PDF)](/student-life/documents/records-release-of-information/) and have your documents sent directly to us. In addition, there must be a connection between disability and a barrier to the academic, environmental or electronic environment. If a connection cannot be made, we may ask for further documentation. ## Roles & responsibilities We want your interaction with us to go smoothly. Here's what you can expect from us, and what we need from you. Here's what you can expect from Delta College instructors. - Office of Disability Resources (ODR) statement included in the course syllabus - Honor accommodations released by the ODR - Provide an accessible academic, physical and electronic learning environment - Will work with ODR regarding accommodation implementation and consultation Here's what you can expect from the Delta College Office of Disability Resources. - Determine reasonable accommodations for students experiencing academic, environmental or electronic barriers as a result of a registered disability. - ODR staff determine disability eligibility based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Subpart E, interpreted from guidance from the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD). ODR does not follow the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which covers the K–12 environment. - Protect the confidentiality of the student and their documentation. - Provide information and referral to campus and community resources to resolve disability-related issues. These are your responsibilities. - Students who would like accommodations for a disability are responsible for reaching out to the Office of Disability Resources (ODR). In college, the student leads the charge to receive accommodations for a disability, as opposed to high school where the responsibility is on the institution. - Provide medical and/or psychological documentation to the ODR. - After registering with the ODR, each semester, the Notification to Instructor Release Form (NTI) should be completed. This indicates that you would like to use your accommodations in your courses, and it notifies your instructors of your accommodations. It does not give details about your disability. Students are encouraged to discuss with their instructors how they will be using their accommodations in each class, especially regarding testing arrangements. As the relationship between student and faculty is a professional one, it is good to reach out to the faculty during office hours or via email to ask if there are any questions about your accommodations. You do not have to disclose your disability to anyone outside of the Office of Disability Resources.  - Whether or not accommodations are used, you are responsible for the mastery of course outcomes and objectives. No modifications are made, as that would change the integrity of the course. Reduced course work is an example of a modification. ## Tools & services The Office of Disability Resources supports the ongoing development of an accessible learning community, that embraces diversity through educational programming, services, resources and facilities that are usable by all members of the campus community. Explore the resources available to you. We work to provide students with equitable access to all classes and programs. We have access to assistive technology that can support the input, expression and retention of curriculum across the college. A few examples are as follows: Text to speech/screen readers Screen readers are computer software that speak written text. It allows students to listen to the written/typed text from a webpage, test, paper or any form of document. [Natural Reader](https://www.naturalreaders.com/%20) is a free, easy to use software that can read text such as Microsoft Word files, webpages, PDF, txt, doc(x), pages ods, odt and non-DRM epub files. Other options include Google Chrome, which has a screen reader extension; Adobe Reader, which has a free software download; or you can use the text to speech software built into a Mac. ZoomText ZoomText is a software program that enlarges text on the screen by up to 16 times. It is useful for students writing papers or reading online articles. It also has limited text-to-speech capabilities. Speech to text Speech to text is assistive technology software that enables human speech to be converted automatically into text. Microsoft Word has speech to text as well as Google Docs, which is called Voice Typing. Smart pens A Smart Pen is a pen device that allows you to take notes while simultaneously recording classroom lectures or discussion. Simply tap anywhere in your notes (they have special note pads) and the pen will play back what was said at that moment in time. The pen also saves digital copies of your notes, which may be transferred to a computer via USB. Audio recorders Audio recorders are devices for recording classes, lectures, conversations and other sounds. FM systems FM Systems are wireless assistive hearing devices that enhance the use of hearing aids, cochlear implants and also assist people who are hard of hearing but do not wear hearing aids, in particular over distance and in noisy environments. Interpreting/captioning services We provide in person sign language interpreting services as well as video remote interpreting. ACA Video Remote Interpreting offers services with a secure internet connection and no software installation. We also provide live captioning services through Archive Captioning. Live captioning, also referred to as CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation), is the process of translating the spoken word to text so that the text can then be displayed on a screen Other resources - [Assignment Planner](https://utsc.library.utoronto.ca/assignment-planner) to help plan out projects or papers with manageable steps  - [Time management calculator](https://www.asundergrad.pitt.edu/study-lab/time-management-calculator) - [Transcription/Hearing accessible and note taking apps (PDF)](/student-life/documents/transcription-hearing-accessible-and-note-taking-apps/) - [Visual impairment apps (PDF)](/student-life/documents/visual-impairment-apps/) - [Mental health apps (PDF)](/student-life/documents/mental-health-apps/) Assistive technology can be found in the Office of Disability Resources.

Ensures that a Biennial Review of the Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program takes place in order to: - Determine the effectiveness of, and to implement any needed changes to, the Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program - Ensure that Delta College is consistently enforcing the disciplinary sanctions for violating the standard of conduct The President acknowledges, by the signature below, that he has reviewed the Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program and the information outlined within this 2025 Biennial Review. He is in support of each.

Comprehensive Program Goals and Objectives from Last Review In the last biennial review, the DAAPP committee proposed some recommendations to explore during this reporting period. The items below were the committee recommendations along with the updates: Carefully review and revise the Drug & Alcohol Prevention Program using the Compliance Checklist Part 86 and Supplemental Checklist Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Regulations (Edgar Part 86) to ensure accuracy and compliance o Update: The DAAPP committee conducted and completed a careful review and revision of the prevention program in June 2024. Additionally, an annual review has been added to the committee’s responsibilities to ensure regular updates are made. Determine best process to ensure new hires receive the DAAPP information upon hire o Update: In April 2024, a requirement was added for all new hires to review the Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program as a part of their new hire paperwork. Additionally, full-time and part-time regular employees are required to participate in Delta College’s New Employee Orientation (NEO). An overview of where the DAAPP resources are located and how to use them was added to the Policies & Procedures session in April 2024. Determine best process to ensure new students receive the DAAPP information upon enrollment o Update: DAAPP notifications are sent via email each semester to currently enrolled students, however, depending on when a student enrolls they may not receive the notification. As a result, a note to review the DAAPP was added in April 2024 to the automated email that all student’s receive upon registration. This ensures that all students receive notification with a link to review the DAAPP. Develop passive and/or interactive programming for Alcohol Awareness Month in April o Update: During alcohol awareness month 2024, CREW held collegiate recovery week with various awareness events and trainings. During alcohol awareness month in 2025, there was also a “Drink Less, Be Your Best” campaign where various table tents were distributed throughout campus with eye-catching messages following this theme. Develop passive and/or interactive programming for National Substance Use Prevention Month in October Update: A mental health fair was held on October 9-10, 2024 on campus as well as a “Sober in October” cornhole tournament on October 23, 2024, hosted by the student led group SOAR, organized through CREW. Utilize posters, display cases, bathroom posters, student blasts and/or employee newsletters to share awareness information throughout the year o Update: Student blasts (FA/WI monthly emails to the student body) included awareness information provided by CREW about various topics as well as events they host to support the college community. The quarterly employee newsletters shared awareness information with employees about topics such as alcohol awareness, international overdose day awareness, national substance abuse prevention and addition recovery. Explore the possibility of utilizing digital signage on campus to share facts/statistics that help raise awareness o Update: This recommendation was not explored during this biennium as the digital signage guidelines are geared primarily towards institutional branding, recruitment messages, educational opportunities, student engagement happening, available services, events and site-specific activities. Better use the Maxient system to easily identify drug and alcohol violations o Update: Currently, the campus Maxient administrator can generate reports on alcohol/drug related incidents for a specific timeframe. However, this primarily covers incidents reported to student conduct and may not capture all relevant incidents, especially those involving employees or those reported solely through Public Safety. Conduct student surveys to obtain trend data o Update: No progress was made on this item. Other recommendations were prioritized, and we also transitioned from calendar year to academic year, shortening our reporting period. Continue to develop and sustain the partnership with 1016 Recovery Network through the Collegiate Recovery Program (CREW) to offer comprehensive response to issues related to alcohol and other drugs by integrating a collection of prevention, early intervention and peer support activities. o Update: CREW has offered monthly Recovery Ally Trainings (open to both students and employees) since the winter 2024 semester. So far, approximately 15 employees have completed the training. Continue to find ways to promote and encourage employee use of the Employee Assistance Program o Update: Though we have not seen an increase in utilization, the Employee Assistance Program was promoted in the following ways - new hire packets, New Employee Orientation benefits review session, open enrollment packets, employee benefits fair, quarterly HR newsletters and in supervisor training sessions. - Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program Analysis Delta College recognizes the importance of a drug and alcohol abuse prevention program, and we are committed to combat these issues. The committee has identified the following strengths and weaknesses of the current prevention programs and as a result, has recommendations for further consideration and implementation during the next review period (AY 2025–2026 and AY 2026-2027). Strengths The DAAPP committee has committed to meeting quarterly to stay on track and has developed a Biennial Review Timeline to ensure continued compliance, development and success. Continued partnership with 1016 Recovery Network that facilitates the Collegiate Recovery Program (CREW) that continues to support the Delta campus. CREW regularly offers Recovery Ally Trainings to familiarize employees with addiction and substance misuse at Delta and in our community. Active Student & Civic Engagement office that regularly coordinates opportunities to share awareness information with students. Availability of Employee Assistance Program to all employees at no cost. Weaknesses Continued limited involvement/engagement in organized student and employee activities Continued limited use and/or awareness of employee assistance program Delta College does not have any type of policy related to allowing for drug/alcohol testing as it relates to there being reasonable suspicion that an employee may be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Recommendations and Goals for Next Biennium Continue to bring awareness of drug/alcohol misuse to the campus community o Continue to utilize employee newsletters to share awareness information, and also better utilize posters and display cases especially during awareness months o Continue to provide and develop new passive and/or interactive programming for Alcohol Awareness month in April and National Substance Use Prevention month in October o Continue to partner with CREW to offer comprehensive response to issues related to alcohol and other drugs as well as finding a way to encourage more employees to complete Recovery Ally Training Continue to review and maintain policies and procedures regarding drugs and alcohol o Consider developing a policy and/or procedure that provides a clear process to follow when an employee is suspected to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol Explore additional opportunities and needs for educating our campus community o Identify a point person who can develop a plan to conduct regular student surveys to obtain trend data Continue to monitor the number of drug/alcohol related incidents o Collaborate with Human Resources and Public Safety to utilize the Maxient system more effectively to easily identify drug and alcohol violations Develop and/or strengthen any existing drug and alcohol misuse education for athletics coaching staff, focusing on maintaining professional standards and equipping them with the knowledge and resources to effectively guide and support student-athletes Conclusion As the DAAPP committee moves forward through the next two academic years, we resolve to continue to combine efforts in order to offer our entire campus community relevant and engaging education and support as it relates to the prevention of alcohol and drug misuse. Our unwavering commitment to a safe, healthy, substance-free environment for our students and employees is the driving force to continuous development and improvement of our prevention programming. Appendices Appendix A – Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP) [LAST REVISED July 2024] INTRODUCTION The Drug Free Schools and Campuses Regulations (34 CFR Part 86) of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) require an Institution of Higher Education (IHE) such as Delta College (DC), to certify that it has implemented programs to prevent the abuse of alcohol and use and /or distribution of illicit drugs both by DC students and employees either on its premises or as a part of any of its activities. At a minimum, an IHE must annually distribute the following in writing to all students and employees: 1) Standards of conduct that clearly prohibit the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees; 2) A description of the legal sanctions under local, state, or federal law for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol; 3) A description of the health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and alcohol abuse; 4) A description of any drug or alcohol counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation or reentry programs that are available to employees or students; and 5) A clear statement that the institution will impose sanctions on students and employees and a description of those sanctions, up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral for prosecution, for violations of the standards of conduct or law. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT A. Employees Delta College is in compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act (41 U.S.C. 701) and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act (20 U.S.C. 1145g). See Delta College Board Approved Policies 8.005 (Alcohol) and 8.006 (Drugs) and the Drug Free Workplace Procedure. B. Students Students attending Delta College are held responsible to our Student Code of Conduct. In addition to local, state and federal laws, our Student Code of Conduct prohibits: Illegal or Unauthorized Possession/Use of Alcohol and Drugs. This includes the unauthorized use, possession, manufacturing or distribution of illegal drugs, controlled substances, look-alike drugs, narcotics or alcoholic beverages or being under the influence of the same. Prohibited conduct includes the use of a prescription drug if the prescription was not issued to the student and sniffing toxic vapors. Sanctions for violating this standard of conduct are outlined in Section V (B) below. A full version of the Student Code of Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook. LEGAL SANCTIONS The Delta College Department of Public Safety enforces all federal and state laws and local ordinances. A. Federal Federal law provides criminal and civil penalties for unlawful possession or distribution of a controlled substance. Under the Controlled Substance Act, as well as other related federal laws, the penalties for controlled substance violations include but are not limited to: incarceration, fines, potential for the forfeiture of property used in possession or to facilitate possession of a controlled substance (which may include homes, vehicles, boats, aircrafts and any other personal or real property), ineligibility to possess a firearm, and potential ineligibility to receive federal educational benefits (such as student loans and grants). Michigan Law Governing Marijuana The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA) conflicts with federal criminal laws governing controlled substances, as well as federal laws requiring institutions receiving federal funds, by grant or contract, to maintain drug-free campuses and workplaces. Delta College receives federal funding that would be in jeopardy if those federal laws did not take precedence over state law. Thus the use, possession or cultivation of marijuana in any form and for any purpose continues to violate the Rules and Regulations of Delta College and is prohibited at Delta College. For a more detailed list of Federal offenses and sanctions please visit Drug Scheduling and Penalties | Campus Drug Prevention. B. State The State of Michigan has numerous laws regulating the possession and use of controlled substances and alcohol. As an example, under current Michigan state law, “a person shall not knowingly or intentionally possess or distribute a controlled substance.” If an individual is found guilty of a violation of the state law, they may be subject to large fines and imprisonment. The penalty is based on many different factors, including the amount and type of drug, where the criminal act took place, and whether the criminal act was a first or repeat offense. For drug possession offenses, the statutorily authorized penalties range from (1) a $100 fine for a person under 21 years of age who possesses not more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana to (2) up to 20 years imprisonment and/or $250,000 fine for possession of narcotics (cocaine, heroin or another narcotic) State of Michigan controlled substance laws and penalties The State of Michigan laws and penalties for unlawful possession of a controlled substance can be found at Michigan Public Health Code 333.7403. The State of Michigan laws and penalties for unlawful manufacture, delivery, possession with intent to deliver narcotics can be found at Michigan Public Health Code 333.7401.

The EAP is a benefit paid for by the College in addition to other employee benefits. Employees are eligible for up to three pre-treatment and assessment interviews at no cost for problems requiring further assistance. A free behavioral health screening tool is available to help employees determine if they need to connect to a behavioral health professional.

Immediately following the brief questionnaire, results, recommendations, and key resources are shared with the user. The online screening is completely anonymous. Substance abuse needs are also covered by all medical plans offered by Delta College. Employees pay only their plan's deductible or co-pay for all treatment services. Leaves of Absence. Delta College offers leaves covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act and those not covered by the Act. Employees may work with Delta’s Human Resources Department to request a leave to participate in treatment, and the reason for the leave is maintained confidentially. Leaves may be full leaves, meaning the employee is entirely absent from work, or the employee may take an intermittent leave of absence. Leaves are coordinated through and documented by the employee’s treatment provider. B.

Possible sanctions are described in more detail below. A. Employees The Director of Human Resources handles matters that require disciplinary action at Delta College. The concept of progressive discipline will be utilized in most cases, taking into consideration the severity of the incident, prior disciplinary action, etc. The following corrective actions (sanctions) may be imposed by the College for a drug and alcohol violation: a. b. c. d. e.

A copy of the suspension without pay notice is provided to the employee, is placed in the department file and the Human Resources employee file. Final Written Warning. The College may, at its discretion, choose to impose a final written warning in lieu of suspension. Exempt salaried personnel who are suspended for less than one week shall receive their wages in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. Termination. When it has been determined that an employee is unable or unwilling to meet the conditions of employment at Delta College, termination results. B. Students The Office of the Vice-President for Student Empowerment and Success handles matters that require disciplinary action at Delta College.

Terms of this probationary period will be determined at the time probation is imposed. Disciplinary suspension. A temporary loss of student status or recognition as a student organization for a specified length of time. Permanent Expulsion. The termination of a student’s enrollment at Delta College. This means the student may no longer participate in any Delta College activity or be on Delta College property owned, operated, leased, or maintained for any purpose. f. g. h. Other Sanctions. Conditions or discipline may be imposed instead of, or in addition to, specific sanctions listed in this section. These may include, but are not limited to: recommendations for counseling, establishment of mandatory behavior conditions/contract-signing stating agreed-upon behavior expectations for continued enrollment or re-enrollment; loss of access to college computers and/or network; a specific project designed to assist the student in better understanding the overall impact of his or her behavioral infraction; a contract of terms for restitution of damages/stolen property before enrollment is continued and/or records are released; suspension without pay from his or her on campus job; restricted participation in extracurricular activities or interscholastic or leadership positions, or community service. Withdrawal Agreement. A mutual plan reached in certain cases where a student’s behavior and continued enrollment may adversely affect his or her well-being. A designated official of the College and the student may agree to discontinue the student’s attendance at Delta College for a specified amount of time and agree to conditions for re-admittance to the College. In such instances, both the designated official and the student will sign a written Withdrawal Agreement. Loss of Recognition. An applicable sanction for student organizations, only. Delta College student organizations may lose recognition and will be deprived of the use of College resources, the use of the College’s name, and the right to participate in College or campus-sponsored activities. This loss of recognition may be for a specific period of time or for an indefinite period of time until all conditions are met. A federal or state drug conviction (but not a local or municipal conviction) can disqualify a student for Federal Student Aid (FSA) funds. Convictions only count against a student for aid eligibility purposes if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal student aid - they do not count if the offense was not during such a period, unless the student was denied federal benefits for drug trafficking by a federal or state judge. Also, a conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from the student's record does not count, nor does one received when the student was a juvenile, unless the student was tried as an adult.

They serve to multiply the positive impact that education, art and culture can have on lives, communities and our world, starting right here in our region. The displays can be found on Main Campus, and the Downtown Saginaw and Midland Centers. Africa’s history spans thousands of years. The continent—comprised of 62 countries—is 3.5 times the size of the entire continental United States. The people of Africa are diverse, and so is the art. African cultures use art in their daily lives as tools for communication, as symbols of status and authority and as a means of connecting to spiritual power. In African art, in general: - The human head is considered the center of knowledge and individuality - Metals, beads and shells are signs of status, wealth and power - Works of art serve as important forms of symbolic language in each community - ## Passport masks of Liberia shadowbox Personal “passport” masks hold many symbolic roles in the social order of a community: in addition to communicating the owner’s ancestry, they promote a sense of unity, harmony and welcome. When a mask owner is traveling outside their immediate community, the miniature mask is an important means of identification that carries with it the protection of the ancestors. These masks were carved of wood, stone and antler by their community’s resident craftsperson, who would have also created the larger masks used in masquerade ceremonies. _Gift of Dr. Kathleen List, with displays from Jim and Anita Jenkins in honor of Dr. Betty B. and S. Preston Jones_ - ## Napkin rings representing West African cultures shadowbox There are over 2,000 language groups in the African continent, and each language group represents a culture. On a daily basis, one person might communicate in many languages. West Africa alone is home to well over 1,000 languages. These carvings represent some of the cultures of West Africa including Bassa, Belle, Dei, Gbandi, Gbi, Gio, Gola, Grebo, Kissi, Kpelle, Krahn, Kru, Loma, Mandingo and Vai. This display represents the work of artist Mohamed K. Konneh, who learned his craft at age six, in Monrovia (the capital city of Liberia) with the encouragement of his father. _Gift of Dr. Kathleen List, with displays from Jim and Anita Jenkins in honor of Dr. Betty B. and S. Preston Jones_ - ## Ceremonial masks of West Africa shadowbox Many African societies have a rich tradition of masquerades, which are plays, ceremonies or dances by masked performers. Masquerades provide entertainment, define social roles, mark rites of passage (such as coming-of-age and funeral ceremonies) and communicate religious meaning. The masks used in such performances are treasured works of art. In most societies, only certain people are permitted to own or wear masks. Masks are important symbols of a community’s ancestors, spirits, history and culture. _Gift of Dr. Kathleen List, with displays from Jim and Anita Jenkins in honor of Dr. Betty B. and S. Preston Jones_ * * * ## Kenyan sister college alliances For over 30 years, Delta College worked collaboratively with education institutions in Kenya. Students and staff have traveled to East Africa to give back to the villages and colleges. Together, Delta College and the three institutions pledged to work with and assist one another to achieve shared goals and outcomes through knowledge, sharing faculty, staff and student learning, as well as an exchange of materials, art, technology and community education. The partnership that Delta has with Kenya began in 1989 when Delta entered a historic international agreement to create a sister college alliance to collaborate on education exchange, with mutual benefits for all institutions and our communities. Our partners include: - Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology (RVIST), Nakuru, Kenya (since 1989) - Tracom College (since 2004) - The Presbyterian Church of East Africa College (PCEA) (since 2016) Delta College's Vice President of Academics in the '90s, Dr. Betty Jones, was instrumental in the development of the partnerships in Kenya. Upon her retirement in 2001, she wrote a remarkable and inspirational story titled, "A Tale of Two Valleys," to document the shared learning, collaboration and International team building. The partnership continues to give students and faculty at Delta unique and exciting learning opportunities, along with the chance to explore the planet, help others and study abroad.

"This sculpture is not mine alone," Newman said. "This is a testament to work of the students and staff who assisted me throughout the process. I learned a lot from them and that’s what art is all about. My hope is that this sculpture serves as a community meeting space, for people to come together." ## Support the Sculpture Walk The Delta Sculpture Walk was commissioned by Delta College with the generous support of the Anderson Family of Bay City. Continued support is made possible through a combination of private donations to the Delta College Foundation.

How to be an active bystander Bystander intervention means safe and positive options that may be carried out by an individual or individuals to prevent harm or intervene when there is a risk of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.  Bystander intervention includes recognizing situations of potential harm, understanding institutional structures and cultural conditions that facilitate violence, overcoming barriers to intervening, identifying safe and effective intervention options, and taking action to intervene. Bystanders play a critical role in the prevention of sexual and relationship violence.  They are “individuals who observe violence or witness the conditions that perpetuate violence.  They are not directly involved but have the choice to intervene, speak up, or do something about it.”  We want to promote a culture of community accountability where bystanders are actively engaged in the prevention of violence without causing further harm.  We may not always know what to do even if we want to help.  Below is a list of some ways to be an active bystander. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, dial 911 or 9111 from a campus phone.  This could be when a person is yelling at or being physically abusive towards another and it is not safe for you to interrupt.  Here are some examples of safe and positive options for bystander intervention: 1. Watch out for your friends and fellow students/employees. If you see someone who looks like they could be in trouble or need help, ask if they are okay. 2. Confront people who seclude, hit on, try to make out with, or have sex with people who are incapacitated. 3. Speak up when someone discusses plans to take sexual advantage of another person. 4. Believe someone who discloses sexual assault, abusive behavior, or experience with stalking. 5. Refer people to College or community resources, including those listed in this document, for support in health, counseling, or with legal assistance. Risk reduction With no intent to victim blame and recognizing that only abusers are responsible for their abuse, the following are some strategies to reduce one’s risk of sexual assault or harassment (taken from Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, [www.rainn.org](https://www.rainn.org/)). 1. **Be aware** of your surroundings. Knowing where you are and who is around that may help you to find a way to get out of a bad situation. 2. Try to **avoid isolated areas.** It is more difficult to get help if no one is around. 3. **Walk with purpose.** Even if you don’t know where you are going, act like you do. 4. **Trust your instincts.** If a situation or location feels unsafe or uncomfortable, it probably isn’t the best place to be. 5. **Try not to load yourself down** with packages or bags as this can make you appear more vulnerable. 6. **Make sure your cell phone is with you** and charged and that you have cab money. 7. **Don't allow yourself to be isolated** with someone you don’t trust or someone you don’t know. 8. **Avoid putting music headphones in both ears** so that you can be more aware of your surroundings, especially if you are walking alone. 9. **When you go to a social gathering, go with a group of friends.** Arrive together, check in with each other throughout the evening, and leave together. Knowing where you are, and who is around you, may help you to find a way out of a bad situation. 10. **Trust your instincts.** If you feel unsafe in any situation, go with your gut. If you see something suspicious, contact law enforcement immediately (local authorities can be reached by calling 911 in most areas of the U.S.). 11. **Don't leave your drink unattended** while talking, dancing, using the restroom, or making a phone call. If you’ve left your drink alone, don’t drink it and get a new one. 12. **Don't accept drinks from people you don't know or trust.** If you choose to accept a drink, go with the person to the bar to order it, watch it being poured, and carry it yourself. At parties, don’t drink from the punch bowls or other large, common open containers. 13. **Watch out for your friends, and vice versa.** If a friend seems out of it, is way too intoxicated for the amount of alcohol they’ve had, or is acting out of character, get him or her to a safe place immediately. 14. **If you suspect you or a friend has been drugged, contact law enforcement immediately (local authorities can be reached by calling 911 in most areas of the U.S.).** Be explicit with doctors so they can give you the correct tests (you will need a urine test and possibly others). 15. If you need to get out of an uncomfortable or scary situation here are some things that you can try: 1. **Remember that being in this situation is not your fault.**  You did not do anything wrong, it is the person who is making you uncomfortable that is to blame. 2. **Be true to yourself.**  Don't feel obligated to do anything you don't want to do.  "I don't want to" is always a good enough reason.  Do what feels right to you and what you are comfortable with. 3. **Have a code word with your friends or family** so that if you don’t feel comfortable you can call them and communicate your discomfort without the person you are with knowing.  Your friends or family can then come to get you or make up an excuse for you to leave. 4. **Lie.**  If you don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings it is better to lie and make up a reason to leave than to stay and be uncomfortable, scared, or worse.  Some excuses you could use are: needing to take care of a friend or family member, not feeling well, having somewhere else that you need to be, etc. 16. **Try to think of an escape route.**  How would you try to get out of the room?  Where are the doors?  Windows?  Are there people around who might be able to help you?  Is there an emergency phone nearby? 17. **If you and/or the other person have been drinking,** you can say that you would rather wait until you both have your full judgment before doing anything you may regret later. Programs to Prevent Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking The College engages in programming, initiatives, strategies, and campaigns intended to end dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking that: 1. Are culturally relevant, inclusive of diverse communities and identities, sustainable, responsive to community needs, and informed by research, or assessed for value, effectiveness, or outcome; and 2. Consider environmental risk and protective factors as they occur on the individual, relationship, institutional, community and societal levels. Educational programing consists of primary prevention and awareness programs for all new employees and ongoing awareness and prevention campaigns for students that include: 1. Delta College prohibits the crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking (as defined by the Clery Act); 2. The definitions of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking according to any applicable jurisdictional definitions of these terms; 3. What behavior and actions constitute consent, in reference to sexual activity, in the State of Michigan; 4. A description of safe and positive options for bystander intervention. 5. Information on risk reduction.

It is important that a victim/survivor of sexual assault not bathe, douche, smoke, change clothing or clean the bed/linen/area where they were assaulted if the offense occurred within the past 96 hours so that evidence may be preserved that may assist in proving that the alleged criminal offense occurred, or is occurring, or may be helpful in obtaining a protection order.  In circumstances of sexual assault, if victims/survivors do not opt for forensic evidence collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address concerns of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted infections.  Victims/survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and dating violence are encouraged to also preserve evidence by saving text messages, instant messages, social networking pages, other communications, and keeping pictures, logs or other copies of documents, if they have any, which would be useful to College adjudicators/investigators or police. As time passes, evidence may dissipate or become lost or unavailable, thereby making investigation, possible prosecution, disciplinary proceedings, or obtaining protection from abuse orders related to the incident more difficult.  If a victim/survivor chooses not to make a complaint regarding an incident, he or she nevertheless should consider speaking with DCDPS or other law enforcement to preserve evidence in the event that the victim/survivor decides to report the incident to law enforcement or the College at a later date to assist in proving that the alleged criminal offense occurred or that may be helpful in obtaining a protection order. Involvement of Law Enforcement and Campus Authorities Although the College strongly encourages all members of its community to report violations of this policy to DCDPS or law enforcement (including on campus law enforcement and/or local police), it is the victim’s/survivor’s choice whether or not to make such a report.  Furthermore, victims/survivors have the right to decline to notify law enforcement.  However, the College Title IX Coordinator will assist any victim with notifying law enforcement if the victim so desires.  The Title IX Coordinator may be reached directly by calling 989-686-9547, in person at J-101, or by email at equityoffice@delta.edu. Delta College Public Safety Department may also be reached directly by calling 989-686-9113, in person at N- 102, 1961 Delta Road, University Center, Michigan, 48710.  Additional information about the Delta College Public Safety Department may be found online at: http://www.delta.edu/services-support/safety.html. Reporting Incidents of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking If you have been the victim/survivor of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you should report the incident promptly to the Equity Office by calling 989-686-9547, writing or emailing equityoffice@delta.edu or coming into the office (J-101) to report in person. If the victim/survivor so desires he/she should report the incident promptly to DCDPS by calling 989-686-9111, in person in room N-102, online by completing the Title IX, Sexual Misconduct and Gender Discrimination Reporting Form or anonymously by filing a report with Silent Witness Form. Anonymous third party reporters (those reporting on behalf of another) may use the same means of reporting as victims/survivors. Reports will be taken and investigated to the extent possible even if the identity of the victim/survivor and/or perpetrator are not known.  Reports of all domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking made to DCDPS will automatically be referred to the Title IX Office for investigation regardless of whether the complainant chooses to pursue criminal charges. Procedures the College Will Follow When a Crime of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking is Reported The College has procedures in place that serve to be sensitive to victims/survivors (referred to as a complainant for the purposes of College procedures) who report sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including informing complainants about their right to file criminal charges as well as the availability of counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance and other services on and/or off campus as well as additional remedies to prevent contact between a complainant and a respondent party, such as academic, and working accommodations, if reasonably available. The College will make such accommodations, if the complainant requests them and if they are reasonably available, regardless of whether the complainant chooses to report the crime to the DCDPS or local law enforcement. Additionally, these procedures provide due process to the alleged individuals (referred to as a respondent for the purposes of College procedures) and equally provides them with supportive measures as requested and deemed appropriate. Students and employees should contact the Title IX Coordinator by calling 989-686-9547, writing or emailing equityoffice@delta.edu or coming into the office (J-101) to request in person.

Accommodations and Supportive Measures Available for Victims/Survivors Upon receipt of a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, Delta College will discuss with the students and employees about accommodations available to them, including academic, living, transportation and working situations or supportive measures.  The notification will include information regarding the accommodation options, available assistance in requesting accommodations, and how to request accommodations and protective measures (i.e., the notification will include the name and contact information for the individual or office that should be contacted to request the accommodations). At the victim/survivor’s request, and to the extent of the victim/survivor’s cooperation and consent, College offices will work cooperatively to assist the victim/survivor in obtaining accommodations.  If reasonably available, a victim/survivor may be offered changes to academic or working situations regardless of whether the victim/survivor chooses to report the crime to DCDPS or local law enforcement.  Examples of options for a potential change to the academic situation may be to transfer to a different section of a class, withdraw and take a class at another time if there is no option for moving to a different section, etc.  Possible changes to work situations may include changing working schedule.  Possible changes in transportation may include having the student or employee park in a different location, assisting the student or employee with a safety escort, etc. To request changes to academic, transportation, and/or working situations or protective measures, a victim/survivor should contact the Title IX Coordinator if he/she is a student or employee.  Employees may also contact the Human Resources department.  If the victim/survivor wishes to receive assistance in requesting these accommodations, she or he should contact the Dean of Student Success or the Title IX Coordinator if they are a student (or employee).  Employees may also contact the Human Resources department. On and Off Campus Services for Victims/Survivors Upon receipt of a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, Delta College  will provide written notification to students and employees about existing assistance with and/or information about obtaining resources and services including counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration assistance, student financial aid and assistance in notifying appropriate local law enforcement.  Delta College will provide information about services available within the College and those available within the larger community the College serves.

The College does not publish the name of crime victims or other identifiable information regarding victims/survivors in the Daily Crime Log or in the annual crime statistics that are disclosed in compliance with the Jeanne Clery  Campus Safety Act.  Furthermore, if a Timely Warning Notice is issued on the basis of a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, the name of the victim/survivor and other personally identifiable information about the victim/survivor will be withheld. --- ## Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP) URL: https://delta.teamtailwind.com/student-life/safety/dapp/ Summary: Information about Delta College's Drug & Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP). The Drug Free Schools and Campuses Regulations (34 CFR Part 86) of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) require an Institution of Higher Education (IHE) such as Delta College, to certify that it has implemented programs to prevent the abuse of alcohol and use and /or distribution of illicit drugs both by Delta College students and employees either on its premises or as a part of any of its activities. At a minimum, an IHE must annually distribute the following in writing to all students and employees: 1. Standards of conduct that clearly prohibit the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. 2. A description of the legal sanctions under local, state, or federal law for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol. 3. A description of the health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and alcohol abuse. 4. A description of any drug or alcohol counseling, treatment, or rehabilitation or reentry programs that are available to employees or students. 5. A clear statement that the institution will impose sanctions on students and employees and a description of those sanctions, up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral for prosecution, for violations of the standards of conduct or law. ## I. Standards of Conduct ### A. Employees Delta College is in compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act (41 U.S.C. 701) and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act (20 U.S.C. 1145g). See Delta College Board Approved Policies [8.005](https://employees.delta.edu/board-approved-policies/8.005.html) (Alcohol) and [8.006](https://employees.delta.edu/board-approved-policies/8.006.html) (Drugs) and the [Drug Free Workplace Procedure](https://employees.delta.edu/procedures/drug-free-work-place.html). ### B. Students Students attending Delta College are held responsible to our Student Code of Conduct. In addition to local, state and federal laws, our Student Code of Conduct prohibits: Illegal or Unauthorized Possession/Use of Alcohol and Drugs. This includes the unauthorized use, possession, manufacturing or distribution of illegal drugs, controlled substances, look-alike drugs, narcotics or alcoholic beverages or being under the influence of the same. Prohibited conduct includes the use of a prescription drug if the prescription was not issued to the student and sniffing toxic vapors. Sanctions for violating this standard of conduct are outlined in Section V (B) below. A full version of the Student Code of Conduct can be found in the [Student Handbook](https://students.delta.edu/student-handbook/index.html). ## II. Legal Sanctions The Delta College Department of Public Safety enforces all federal and state laws and local ordinances. ### A. Federal Federal law provides criminal and civil penalties for unlawful possession or distribution of a controlled substance. Under the Controlled Substance Act, as well as other related federal laws, the penalties for controlled substance violations include but are not limited to: incarceration, fines, potential for the forfeiture of property used in possession or to facilitate possession of a controlled substance (which may include homes, vehicles, boats, aircrafts and any other personal or real property), ineligibility to possess a firearm, and potential ineligibility to receive federal educational benefits (such as student loans and grants). #### Michigan Law Governing Marijuana The [Michigan Medical Marihuana Act](https://www.legislature.mi.gov/\(S\(ao12zpr1yfc201mg5r4wahno\)\)/documents/mcl/pdf/mcl-Initiated-Law-1-of-2008.pdf) (MMMA) conflicts with federal criminal laws governing controlled substances, as well as federal laws requiring institutions receiving federal funds, by grant or contract, to maintain drug-free campuses and workplaces. Delta College receives federal funding that would be in jeopardy if those federal laws did not take precedence over state law. Thus the use, possession or cultivation of marijuana in any form and for any purpose continues to violate the Rules and Regulations of Delta College and is prohibited at Delta College.

State The State of Michigan has numerous laws regulating the possession and use of controlled substances and alcohol. As an example, under current Michigan state law, “a person shall not knowingly or intentionally possess or distribute a controlled substance.” If an individual is found guilty of a violation of the state law, they may be subject to large fines and imprisonment. The penalty is based on many different factors, including the amount and type of drug, where the criminal act took place, and whether the criminal act was a first or repeat offense. For drug possession offenses, the statutorily authorized penalties range from (1) a $100 fine for a person under 21 years of age who possesses not more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana to (2) up to 20 years imprisonment and/or $250,000 fine for possession of narcotics (Cocaine, heroin or another narcotic). #### State of Michigan controlled substance laws and penalties The State of Michigan laws and penalties for unlawful possession of a controlled substance can be found at [Michigan Public Health Code 333.7403](http://www.legislature.mi.gov/\(S\(jc2rm1cnntayg22k0iga2bm3\)\)/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&objectname=mcl-333-7403 "Michigan Public Health Code 333.7403.").

Disciplinary Sanctions Delta College will impose sanctions on students and employees for violation of Delta’s policies and standards of conduct (consistent with federal, state, and local laws) up to and including reprimands, expulsion, termination, and referral for prosecution. Possible sanctions are described in more detail below. ### A. Employees The director of Human Resources handles matters that require disciplinary action at Delta College. The concept of progressive discipline will be utilized in most cases, taking into consideration the severity of the incident, prior disciplinary action, etc. The following corrective actions (sanctions) may be imposed by the college for a drug and alcohol violation: 1. **Verbal notice.** The supervisor will meet with the employee to discuss the problem and the improvements that are expected. The supervisor will document the meeting and place a copy of the results of that meeting in the department’s employee file.  2. **Written warning**. A formal, written reminder documenting the problem and expected improvements. A copy of the formal written notice is provided to the employee, is placed in the department file and the Human Resources employee file.  3. **Suspension without pay.** A formal, written explanation of the problem and time off to emphasize the seriousness of the problem and that dramatic behavior change is needed immediately. A copy of the suspension without pay notice is provided to the employee, is placed in the department file and the Human Resources employee file.  4. **Final written warning.** The college may, at its discretion, choose to impose a final written warning in lieu of suspension. Exempt salaried personnel who are suspended for less than one week shall receive their wages in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.  5. **Termination.** When it has been determined that an employee is unable or unwilling to meet the conditions of employment at Delta College, termination results. ### B. Students The Office of the Vice President of Student Empowerment and Success handles matters that require disciplinary action at Delta College. The concept of progressive discipline will be utilized in all cases, taking into consideration the severity of the incident, the number of times the student has been referred to the conduct system, etc. The following sanctions may be imposed by the college for general misconduct: 1. **Verbal reprimand.** A formal and documented conversation by an authorized college official with a student regarding a violation and possible consequences if misconduct continues.  2. **Written reprimand.** A formal document from an authorized college official to a student regarding a violation. This document will be preserved in a student record.  3. **Disciplinary probation.** The imposition of a period of observation and review of conduct during which the student or recognized student organization must demonstrate compliance with college standards. Terms of this probationary period will be determined at the time probation is imposed.  4. **Disciplinary suspension.** A temporary loss of student status or recognition as a student organization for a specified length of time.  5. **Permanent expulsion.** The termination of a student’s enrollment at Delta College. This means the student may no longer participate in any Delta College activity or be on Delta College property owned, operated, leased, or maintained for any purpose.  6. **Other sanctions.** Conditions or discipline may be imposed instead of, or in addition to, specific sanctions listed in this section. These may include, but are not limited to: recommendations for counseling, establishment of mandatory behavior conditions/contract-signing stating agreed-upon behavior expectations for continued enrollment or re-enrollment; loss of access to college computers and/or network; a specific project designed to assist the student in better understanding the overall impact of his or her behavioral infraction; a contract of terms for restitution of damages/stolen property before enrollment is continued and/or records are released; suspension without pay from  his or her on campus job; restricted participation in extra-curricular activities or interscholastic or leadership positions, or community service.  7. **Withdrawal agreement.** A mutual plan reached in certain cases where a student’s behavior and continued enrollment may adversely affect his or her well-being. A designated official of the college and the student may agree to discontinue the student’s attendance at Delta College for a specified amount of time and agree to conditions for re-admittance to the college. In such instances, both the designated official and the student will sign a written withdrawal agreement.  8. **Loss of recognition.** An applicable sanction for student organizations, only. Delta College student organizations may lose recognition and will be deprived of the use of college resources, the use of the college’s name, and the right to participate in college or campus-sponsored activities. This loss of recognition may be for a specific period of time or for an indefinite period of time until all conditions are met. A federal or state drug conviction (but not a local or municipal conviction) can disqualify a student for Federal Student Aid (FSA) funds. Convictions only count against a student for aid eligibility purposes if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal student aid - they do not count if the offense was not during such a period, unless the student was denied federal benefits for drug trafficking by a federal or state judge. Also, a conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from the student's record does not count, nor does one received when the student was a juvenile, unless the student was tried as an adult. ## VI. Notification of the DAAPP ### A. Employee Notification The Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program is distributed to all current employees of the college on an annual basis via an all-staff email in September and also featured in a Delta News announcement on Inside Delta at that time. New employees hired after the September notification email receive notification as a part of their new hire paperwork where they agree to review the program within their first 30 days of employment. ### B. Student Notification The Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program is distributed to all currently enrolled students each fall and winter semester via email and also featured in a Delta News announcement on Inside Delta at that time. Additionally, upon registering for any course, all students receive an automated email that includes a link to the program and encourages students to review. ## VII. Program Review The Drug Free Schools and Campuses Regulations (EDGAR Part 86) of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) requires institutions of higher education to conduct a biennial review of its program. Delta College conducts their biennial review on odd-numbered years for the prior two academic years. The review is designed to determine program effectiveness, identify and implement needed changes and to ensure sanctions are consistently enforced. The [most recent biennial review (PDF)](/student-life/documents/daapp-biennial-review/) is housed in the Human Resources Office and is available for review online. ## VIII.

It is specifically designed to address possible emerg Adverse weather may affect the regular operations of Delta College. Recognizing its responsibility to students and the community, the College will close when it appears that the interests of all concerned will be best served by doing so. The decision to close the college will be made by the President or designee, in consultation with the Facilities Director, the Chief of Police, and others as appropriate, based on the following criteria: - The current condition of main roads leading to the campus - Weather reports regarding the track of the storm and other conditions - The condition of drives and parking on the campus - The condition of heat and other utilities on campus Maximum effort will be made to decide on closing the college, if necessary, prior to 6am for day classes, and prior to 3:30pm for evening classes. Students, faculty and staff travel from a broad geographic area making it impossible to come to a decision that is appropriate for everyone, since weather conditions are rarely uniform across the area. A conscientious effort is made to arrive at a reasonable decision considering all the factors. The college encourages safe driving practices and avoidance of unnecessary risks in traveling to work or classes. It is each driver’s responsibility to decide whether to travel to the college, based on road conditions driving skills and vehicle conditions. If a delayed opening is announced, all classes starting before the announced time are canceled; classes starting at or after the announced time meet as scheduled. Offices open at the announced time.

Operators in violation of State law provisions applicable to the campus will be issued a traffic citation complaint, which will require the violator to appear in the 74th District Court in Bay City, Michigan. ### Sec. 1 - Parking The college has provided adequate parking space for all students, faculty, staff and visitors. All vehicles which enter the property of Delta College are expected to comply with the college regulations pertaining to parking and traffic. Failure to comply with these regulations will result in Violation Notices being issued by an officer of the Department of Public Safety. ### Sec. 2 - Towing The college maintains its right to tow any vehicle illegally parked on the campus without warning at the expense of the owner. ### Sec. 3 - Obstructing traffic Any vehicle parked on the campus in such a manner as to obstruct the free flow of traffic or endanger the safety of the public shall be in violation of this regulation. Vehicle will be towed at owner's expense. ### Sec. 4 - Abandoned vehicle Any vehicle parked on the campus for more than five consecutive days without being moved, and the owner/driver has not notified the Department of Public Safety that the vehicle will not be moved, shall be deemed abandoned. Any vehicle parked on the campus without current license plates attached shall also be deemed abandoned. Vehicles will be towed at owner's expense. In an effort to control long term parking, the college requires the owner/driver of any vehicle which will be left parked for an extended period of time (more than five consecutive days without being moved) to report the necessary information to the Department of Public Safety immediately. ### Sec. 5 - Parking on Delta College property No person shall park, except when necessary to avoid a conflict with other traffic or in compliance with law or directions of a police officer or traffic control device, in any of the following places: - 5.01: At any place or location where official signs prohibit parking or stopping, including, but not limited to, posted fire and emergency lanes, bus stop zones and loading and unloading zones. - 5.02: At any place or location where official signs designate such parking for specific use of handicapped persons, motor-driven cycles or bicycles. - 5.03: On any sidewalk located on the Delta College campus. - 5.04: Within 15 feet of any fire hydrant. - 5.05: Upon the curb, grass, land islands, traffic islands or median strips. - 5.06: In reserved parking lots without proper authorization. - 5:07: On the highway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street. - 5:08: Within any intersection, or blocking any public or private driveway. - 5.09: On any street or roadway, or the shoulder of any street or roadway on the Delta College campus. - 5.10: In such a manner as to prevent other vehicles from using legitimate parking spaces; i.e., straddling parking lanes, parked in two spaces, parked parallel to curb or backed into parking space. ### Sec. 6 - Fine and penalties All fines will double if not paid or an appeal is not filed with the Department of Public Safety within 21 days after receipt of a ticket. Once a ticket is put on hold after the 21-day period, a service charge of $2.00 will then be added. Also, after the 21-day period, all transcripts are placed on hold and will not be released until the fine is paid. Any outstanding parking fines that are not paid by the end of the semester will also result in the student not being able to register for the next semester. ### Sec. 7 - Appeals All requests for appeal of parking tickets should be directed to the Department of Public Safety in N102. The Parking Appeal Board will meet at regular intervals to review appeals and complaints. The board may either uphold the fine, dismiss the case, order the release of holds placed on transcripts or allow registration for classes in accordance with these regulations. The board shall also send written notices to individuals with fines outstanding, advising them of the penalties. The board will also review and recommend changes in these regulations. The college reserves the right to make any necessary revisions to these regulations at any time, providing a two-week notice published on the student and staff bulletins prior to becoming effective. [Download the appeals form](/student-life/documents/parking-ticket-appeal-form/) ### Sec. 8 - Handicapped parking The campus has limited parking spaces reserved for handicapped drivers. Parking spaces are assigned on a semester basis. Persons may apply at the Office of Disability Resources (D102). A doctor's letter describing the severity of handicap is required. ## Traffic regulations Report all accidents to the Delta College Department of Public Safety, whether they occur in the parking lots or on the roadways. A State of Michigan accident form will be filled out as required. Most accidents occur in the parking lots while attempting to park your car or upon backing out of a parking space. Use care in parking and obey the traffic rules and regulations. Note: Copies of accident reports will be furnished to insurance companies upon written request and payment of the required fee. ### Sec. 1 - College regulation As a condition of the use of college roads and parking facilities, all vehicles on Delta College property shall be operated in a safe and courteous manner in obedience of all applicable State laws, all posted traffic signs and directions of campus police officers. All persons operating a vehicle on the campus must show proper operator's license, registration and proof of insurance when requested by campus police officers or other law enforcement officers. ### Sec. 2 - State law Delta College Department of Public Safety officers, being vested with full peace or law enforcement authority, as other State law enforcement officials, have authority to enforce those provisions of State law applicable to campus. Operators in violation of such provisions can be issued a uniform traffic citation, which will require the violator to appear in the 74th District Court of Bay City. Applicable provisions include: | Provision | Code | | --- | --- | | Failure to stop after a PL accident  | 257.617 | | Failure to stop after a PD accident | 257.618 | | Driving under the influence of liquors or drugs  | 257.625 | | Driving while impaired  | 257.625a | | Careless driving  | 257.626b | | Drag racing | 257.626a6 | | Speed limitations/restrictions  | 257.627 | | Right-of-way/Stop sign violations  | 257.649 | | Failure to stop leaving a private drive  | 257.652 | | Manslaughter  | 750.324 | | Negligent homicide  | 750.325 | | Driving reckless  | 257.626 | Conviction of some of these MI State Law offenses may result in points being added to your driving record. ### Sec. 3 - Penalties Members of the Delta College community who are in violation of the above sections 1 and 2, whether or not issued a Uniform Traffic Citation under State law, shall also be subject to disciplinary action under the college judicial process. ## Tobacco-free campus Delta College is tobacco-free campus. To help ensure a safe, clean learning environment we thank you for refraining from the use of tobacco products on campus. Smoking and use of tobacco products, including ecigarettes, are not permitted anywhere on Delta's Main Campus or its downtown centers. This includes campus buildings, sidewalks, parking lots, building entrances, common areas and in college-owned vehicles. ### Enforcement and fines Students, employees and visitors who violate the college's tobacco-free policy will be subject to fines starting at $25. Public Safety personnel are authorized to issue citations for violations of this policy. A citation for tobacco violation is a collectible financial obligation to the college. All fines will double after 21 days if they have not been paid and may lead to additional disciplinary action in accordance to college policy. All fines not paid within the 21 days will also result in the student's grades and transcripts being placed on hold until the financial obligation has been met. ### Appeal process If you feel that you have been unjustly cited, you may appeal the citation by filing a written appeal at the Department of Public Safety in N102. The appeal must be received within 10 business days after being issued the citation or the right to appeal is forfeited. ## Contact us **Department of Public Safety** N102 [publicsafety@delta.edu](mailto:publicsafety@delta.edu)  989-686-9111 (emergencies) 989-686-9113 (non-emergencies) --- ## Testing services URL: https://delta.teamtailwind.com/student-life/testing-services/ Summary: Delta's Testing Center offers a quiet and secure place to take a variety of tests for both students and the surrounding community.

If you are unsure whether you need to take the ACCUPLACER, please consult with your advisor. ## Guided self-placement survey recommendations When you submitted your application to Delta College, you were prompted to complete a guided self-placement survey. This quick survey allows you more flexibility to select the courses that best align with your academic pathway, experience and comfort level. ### How do I receive my recommended course? If you are a new student required to go through new student orientation, you will receive your course recommendations from your Student Success Advisor when they assist you with planning your classes after you have completed orientation and the pre-advising form. If you are not required to go through new student orientation, you will receive your course recommendations by email from the Admissions Office after you are admitted to Delta College. This email will also include your student ID number and next steps. ### When can I register for my classes? You’ll be able to register for classes after you’ve completed your admissions steps. You’ll receive regular email updates from your Admissions Advisor letting you know where you are in the process. Once you’re ready to register, they’ll let you know. At that time, you’ll be able to register on your own or discuss your course recommendations with your Student Success Advisor. ### Can I register for a class other than the one that was recommended? For math courses, you are able to enroll in the first math course of your choice, regardless of the placement recommendation. For English courses, you will have to follow the course recommendation. Your Student Success Advisor is available to help you select the math and English courses that best fit your program or educational goals. ### What do my recommended English courses mean? We want to make sure you're placed in the class that's just right for you! If you've been out of high school for 10 or more years and have never completed a college course, you may need to take the ACCUPLACER Reading and Writing assessments. These assessments will help your Student Success Advisor get a better idea of where you should start with your English courses. If you have already successfully completed college courses (either at Delta or another college/university), it's unlikely you'll need to take any ACCUPLACER assessments, but the option is available to all students. If you choose to take the Accuplacer, please contact the Testing Center at [testingcenter@delta.edu](mailto:testingcenter@delta.edu) or 989-686-9182 to set up a testing appointment. **English 099** is designed to provide students with the opportunity to improve their reading and writing skills in an interactive and collaborative setting before moving on in the composition sequence (ENG 111A in Spring/Summer 2025, ENG 111C/096 starting in Fall 2025, followed by ENG 112A). This course includes the practice of personal and academic writing with special attention given to individual needs, which may include organization, sentence structure and variety, correct usage and vocabulary development. It also includes practicing active reading strategies to understand, interpret and apply information from reading. This class is designed to be an option for students who do not feel prepared to enter a credit-bearing ENG 111. The purpose of this class is to assist students in developing the writing, reading and study skills that are necessary for college success. This course moves at a slower pace in that the reading and writing assignments have longer turnaround times with significant scaffolding from the instructor. Although it provides no credit toward graduation requirements, ENG 099 is an excellent choice for students who want to prepare themselves for academic study and better their chances for college success. **An English 111 with support** (ENG 111A in Spring/Summer 2025, ENG 111C/096 starting in Fall 2025) is designed to provide students with significant scaffolding to read and write at the college level in an interactive and collaborative setting before progressing through the composition sequence to ENG 112A. ENG 111A is a three-credit, two contact hour course (five hours total). ENG 111C/096 is two paired three-credit courses (six hours total). Both support models contain additional instructional and workshop time with the instructor to support reading and writing assignments more than is typical in ENG 111. This course develops fluent, effective and confident writers. ENG 111A and ENG 111C/096 offer students experience in using an effective writing process and technology to produce formal, college-level texts. Students in this course will use reading and language awareness to further their development of writing as well as practice the use of critical thinking skills in reading and writing and be introduced to basic research skills related to academic writing. **English 111** instructs students how to read and write at the college level in an interactive and collaborative setting before progressing through the composition sequence to ENG 112. This course moves at a college-level pace and students are expected to work independently on their reading and writing assignments with some scaffolding from the Instructor. This course develops fluent, effective, and confident writers. ENG 111 offers students experience in using an effective writing process and technology to produce formal, college-level texts. Students in this course will use reading and language awareness to further their development of writing as well as practice the use of critical thinking skills in reading and writing and be introduced to basic research skills related to academic writing. ### What do my recommended math courses mean? Your first math course may depend on your program of study. Some programs and degrees have a required math course requirement. Due to the variety of programs and corresponding math requirements, it is best that you consult with an advisor when selecting a math course. Some programs require mathematical explorations (MTH 118W), statistics (MTH 208W or MTH 209W), or college algebra (MTH 122W). Other programs require trigonometry (MTH 121). MTH 121 requires a college algebra (MTH 122W) prerequisite. If you are feeling unsure in your math skills and you are required to take MTH 118W, MTH 208W, MTH 209W or MTH 122W, you could consider taking a course with embedded support such as MTH 118AW, MTH 208AW, MTH 209AW or MTH 122AW. If you think you may need more help than the course with embedded support there are other options available to you. MTH 095 is a developmental math course and _does not count_ toward graduation. This guided self-placement survey is not perfect. It may recommend a course below your abilities. If you believe you are prepared and ready for a math course, you have a couple of options: 1.  A course with embedded support such as 118AW, 208AW, 209AW or 122AW. These math courses typically count toward graduation. 2. If you feel that you are very prepared and could handle the faster pace of a math course without the extra support, MTH 118W, MTH 208W, MTH209W or MTH 122W may be the best course for you. Also, consider your program and educational goals before selecting your first math course. Some programs require a specific math course, and you should always consider taking a required program course before taking the recommended course of this guided self-placement survey. Includes numeration systems, sets and their properties, classification of number systems (whole numbers through real number), operations and their properties, arithmetical algorithms and problem solving. Uses a variety of learning styles, manipulatives and calculator and computer applications. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards are incorporated.

Delta has transformed our community by providi Since 1961, Delta College has shown how the dreams invested in one institution can impact the lives of thousands. Delta has transformed our community by providing an affordable education, a skilled workforce and the means to think big about the future. Through the collaboration and innovation of 300 civic-minded individuals who saw the need  for a top-quality community college in mid-Michigan, Delta College was created to serve Bay, Midland and Saginaw counties. Delta College opened in 1961 with 2,600 students, and now enrolls about 9,000 annually. Students range from high school students taking dual-enrollment classes to older adults returning to college to enhance their skills. Today, Delta continues to value collaboration and innovation as we lead the way in community college education. From our involvement as a founding member in the League for Innovation in the Community College to our commitment to Achieving the Dream as a Leader College, Delta College continues to learn and grow as we encourage our students to do the same.

Together, Delta College and the three institutions pledged to assist one another to achieve shared goals and outcomes through knowledge sharing, as well as an exchange of materials, art and technology. The partnership with Kenya began in 1989 when Delta entered a historic international agreement with Rift Valley Institute of Science and Technology (RVIST) in Nakuru, Kenya. Creating a sister college alliance of collaboration for education exchange and mutual benefits for both institutions and their communities. Later, Delta entered into a similar agreement with a second college in Nakuru, Kenya called Tracom College and then a third college in 2016 called the Presbyterian Church of East Africa College (PCEA). For 30 years Delta has been journeying to Kenya providing various services such as medical camps and constructing computer labs, building a lasting and special bond in the process. ## A global perspective The first student group from Delta to travel to Kenya was led by Dr. Betty Jones and visited Nakuru, Kenya in 1990. In the agreement between Delta and RVIST, Rift Valley declared that improvements in technology would be one of the main goals that it wanted to obtain from the partnership. Delta’s goal was to introduce and provide global concepts for its students. “What this partnership gave us was insight and knowledge and a view of what you do when you don’t have,” said Betty Jones who retired in 2001 as the Vice President of Instruction and Learning. “That’s one of the reasons this partnership has lasted so long. It’s because each institution gains from it.” ## Highlights of Delta's work in Kenya ### 2024 As a tribute to his late wife, Dr. Betty B. Jones, Preston Jones donated Betty's collection of over 500 books to RVIST. With the support of Betty's sorority, Mu Alpha Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc., the Delta College Foundation, Dr. Reva Curry and Jack Crowell, $6,000 was raised to cover the cost of this major book shipment. ### 2019 A new public shop was established and opened up by Delta College in the Haji community. The store sells basic necessities such as flour, sugar, cooking oil, fuel for a cooking stove and soap. ### 2018 Delta College nursing and physical therapy students and faculty set up the first ever Medical Camp in the remote village of Haji in Kenya. The Medical camp ran for two days and the Delta team assisted over 400 people, most of which have never had access to healthcare. The camp provided many amenities to citizens such as nursing/medical care, physical therapy services, eye glasses, and HIV/AIDS testing, and Delta students worked alongside students from PCEA. Delta also began a $20,000 water project in 2018 to transport water from a spring to the library in Haji to supply people with clean, reliable water. The project aims to be completed in early 2019. ### 2016 Delta College Vice President of Instruction/Learning Services, Dr. Reva Curry signs a relationship agreement with the Presbyterian Church of East Africa College (PCEA). ### 2015 Using books gathered by Jack Crowell, Delta Nursing Professor Kelli Prena and her team established a library in an abandoned building that they refurbished in a rural International Displaced Persons (IDP) community called Haji. Also, in 2015 Delta began expeditions to IDP communities. ### 2011 As of 2011, Delta has donated over 6,000 computers to Kenya that have been placed in more than 400 schools, including RVIST.  Also in 2011, for the first time, Delta sent IT and health students to assist in the Rural School Technology Project ### 2004 The Delta/RVIST Partnership Renewal was signed by Delta President Peter Boyse and Vice President of Instruction for RVIST Donald Halog and RVIST Principle Mr. J.F.K. Kosgei. The renewal also included Tracom College as a third partner to the agreement that would set up collaboration and goals into 2010. ### 2003 After ten years, the water pump that was introduced in 1993 was fully installed in 2003 with an electric engine and pipelines to the RVIST campus. Tracom College opened up the Robert Keicher Memorial Center for Information Technology in remembrance of Robert Keicher, who passed away in February of that same year. In September four members of a travel study group traveled to Kenya to attend the “Faces of Kenya” that tells the story of the Delta and RVIST partnership. RVIST inaugurated the newly renovated Library as the Dr. Betty Jones Library and Learning Center in honor of the work that Dr. Betty Jones had done with the Delta/RVIST partnership. Also, in September of the same year to commemorate the “legendary” innovations and work in the transfer of technology in Kenya from Jack Crowell RVIST dedicated the Jack Crowell Rainbow Technology Lab on September 17. Dr. Betty Jones dedicated the lab and Crowell was acclaimed as a model colleague and International innovator for the 21st century. ### 1999 A crucial shipment of 1800 computers in four containers was finally released by the Kenyan Government with the help of Robert Keicher, allowing the RSBCP program to expand from 20 schools to 200. This shipment supplied books and computers to rural school children. ### 1993 RVIST Computer Lab became fully operational and was dedicated to Robert Keicher, as it was named the Keicher Lab by Dr. Betty Jones. Robert Keicher was a mathematics and computer science teacher at Delta who worked with Dan Njiriri of RVIST to design and set up the lab. Keicher also started up literacy and application training for RVIST faculty. ### 1989 In June of 1989, Delta’s proposal for a sister college partnership with RVIST was one of the first four among sixteen proposals to be approved by the United States Information Agency (USIA) University Affiliations Program. It was stated by the Director of the USIA Affiliations Program for Africa that Delta’s proposal was ranked as superior and noted for its quality, vision and innovative spirit. ### 1987 In July, the first Delta expedition to Kenya was carried out as Travel Study group of 18 Delta College faculty, staff and community members flew to Kenya to join Professional Seminars International. Leading the Delta team was Jack Crowell and Duff Zube and it was on this trip that Delta was introduced to RVIST. "It is an eye-opening experience. You come away from Kenya being so grateful for everything that you have here, but you also come away from Kenya with such an appreciation for the people. They are so warm and welcoming. They are just very positive and happy. You just really walk away with a different perspective." **Beth Zeiman** Delta College nursing faculty --- ## Delta College leadership URL: https://delta.teamtailwind.com/about/leadership/ Summary: The longevity of Delta’s executive leadership is a point of pride for the institution. In the 64 years of its existence, Delta College has only had five preside The longevity of Delta’s executive leadership is a point of pride for the institution. In the 65 years of its existence, Delta College has only had five presidents: Samuel D. Marble, Donald J. Carlyon, Dr. Peter D. Boyse, Dr. Jean Goodnow and Dr. Michael H. Gavin. Each have left lasting impressions on the institution, successfully positioning Delta as a model for community colleges across the nation. Delta’s founding president, Samuel D. Marble, was quoted saying, “Our goal is to obtain educational equality, and when this level is reached, to surpass it.” Words he lived by, successfully building a foundation of excellence that permeates the walls of the college to this day. During Donald J. Carlyon’s 28 years as Delta’s president, he focused the college’s attention on innovation and built a best-in-class workforce for its students. In 1966, Carlyon initiated the Summer Project sending dozens of faculty members to 24 two-year colleges across the nation. They returned with over 100 recommendations for Delta. His radical actions led Delta to becoming a founding member of the [League for Innovation](https://www.league.org/about). Dr. Peter D. Boyse also left a lasting mark from his 12 years as president by way of $70 million in renovations which included a new library, pool, Health and Wellness Center, science wing and the state-of-the-art Technical Trades and Manufacturing Complex. Delta’s color has always been green, but when Dr. Jean Goodnow became President in 2005, being green took on new meaning. She signed Delta into the [American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment](https://sdgs.un.org/partnerships), leading the way for colleges to create ecologically [sustainable](/about/sustainability/) environments on their campuses and for their surrounding communities. Known nationally for administrative leadership that focuses on academic excellence and equity, Dr. Gavin served at Delta College from 2021-2025, as its fifth president. He was committed to the notion that community colleges have the capacity to reshape the inequities in society through open access education and teaching excellence. ## Meet our current leaders | **** | **Andrea Ursuy** _Interim President_ Ms. Ursuy has more than 25 years of experience working in various roles at Delta College and will serve as Interim President until a new president is named.
