Many of the items below are included with links in the additional syllabus items doc above.

As your instructor, one of my responsibilities is to create a positive learning environment for all students. Title IX and IU’s Sexual Misconduct Policy prohibit sexual misconduct in any form, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and dating and domestic violence.  If you have experienced sexual misconduct, or know someone who has, the University can help.

If you are seeking help and would like to speak to someone confidentially, you can make an appointment with:

Center for Health Promotion at 765-973-8216 (counseling services)

It is also important that you know that Title IX and University policy require me to share any information brought to my attention about potential sexual misconduct, with the campus Deputy Title IX Coordinator or IU’s Title IX Coordinator.  In that event, those individuals will work to ensure that appropriate measures are taken and resources are made available.   Protecting student privacy is of utmost concern, and information will only be shared with those that need to know to ensure the University can respond and assist. 

Students with Disabilities

Indiana University East strives to make all learning experiences as accessible as possible. If you anticipate or experience academic barriers based on your disability (including mental health, learning, chronic health, physical, hearing, vision or neurological, etc.) please contact the Office of Accessibility Services immediately at 765-973-8675 to schedule an appointment. Note that services are confidential, may take time to put into place and are not retroactive. Captions and alternate media for print materials may take three or more weeks to get produced. The Office of Accessibility Services is located in Springwood Hall, room 202L.

Basic Needs Security

Any student who faces challenges securing their food or housing and believes this may affect their performance in the course should contact the Dean of Students Amy Jarecki (phone number: 765-973-8525) for support. Additionally, IU East employs a student advocate, Ibrahim Diarra (phone number: 765-973-8395), to help. Furthermore, please notify me if you are comfortable in doing so. This will enable me to provide any resources that I may possess.

Technology Support

Technology support is available to all students at IU East. You can contact the IT Help Desk at iueitsup@indiana.edu or by calling 765-973-8375. Most problems can be resolved in less than 24 hours. If there is a system-wide service problem, you will receive email notices regarding the problems and its resolution. In addition, the IU Knowledge Base is a good resource for any technical questions you may have.

You will be using the IU Canvas platform in this course. Once you are in the platform you can learn how to use Canvas effectively, by clicking the “Help” link. It is located on the lower left when you use Canvas on a computer, and in the menu in the Canvas app.
