Extended Leave

At times unexpected circumstances arise that take a concurrent enrollment instructor out of the classroom for an extended period of time (greater that 2 consecutive weeks). When such an instance arrives the following steps should be taken:

1. Upon finding out that a teacher will be on extended leave the high school should immediately contact the SLCC Concurrent Enrollment Director. If someone besides the director is notified, they should immediately inform the CE Director.
2. The CE Director will then reach out to the College Experience Liaison, Content Liaison, and SLCC academic department associate dean to notify them of the extended leave situation. The CE Director will also include the high school administration.
3. The academic department will then send the content liaison to meet with the teacher (if the teacher is available) to assess how much of the college content has been covered up to the point the teacher leaves/left, whether the instructor upon their return can cover the remainder of the content given the length of time available during the semester/year, and work with the teacher and high school to come up with a solution for covering the college content. If the teacher cannot be reached, when the high school becomes aware of the extended leave situation, then the liaison will meet with the class to assess what has been addressed. Solutions, for example, may include finding a qualified substitute, revising the course calendar, extended class time after school once the instructor returns, hiring a SLCC adjunct faculty member as a temporary substitute for the classes, etc.
4. If a solution can be identified the liaison will notify the SLCC CE Director who will notify, in writing, all parties listed above.
5. If a solution cannot be identified students will be dropped from the class so that the grade does not impact their college transcript.
