Developmental academic advising is a continuous, student-centered process of clarification and evaluation. This
process is to assist students in the development of meaningful educational plans compatible with their life goals and
their personal values.
Developmental academic advising is an intentional process that assists students in making informed choices,
clarifying their goals and developing educational plans for realizing these goals. It is ongoing, multi-faceted, and
the responsibility of both student and advisor. The relationship between advisor and student is vital. Through
this relationship, students are gradually encouraged to take on a greater role in directing their educational
paths resulting in less reliance on advisors. Students become increasingly self-directed and ultimately assume
responsibility for their personal, educational and career goals.
Developmental academic advising is a collaborative effort across campus, utilizing all available resources.
Advisor role and responsibilities
Advisors may have the following responsibilities:
• Help students clarify and develop realistic
educational career plans.
• Assist students in planning or revising a program
consistent with their abilities and interests.
• Monitor progress towards educational/career
goals.
• Discuss and reinforce linkages and relationships
between instructional program and occupation/
career
• Interpret and provide rationale for instructional
policies, procedures and requirements.
• Guide students through all designated educational
transactions (e.g. schedule, add/ drop, change of
major, waiver, graduation requirements).
• Maintain an electronic advising file for each
advisee.
• Refer students when academic, attitudinal,
attendance, or other personal problems require
intervention by other professionals.
• Inform students of the nature of the advisor/
advisee relationship.
• Request reassignment of advisee to another
advisor if necessary.
• Assist students in identifying career opportunities.
• Develop supportive, professional relationship with
advisees.
• Inform students of special services available to
them.
• Accept responsibility for performing your duties as
an advisor.
Academic Advising at Chemeketa Community College
Advisee responsibilities
Advisees have the following responsibilities:
• Clarify their personal values, abilities,
interests and goals.
• Contact and make an appointment with the
advisor when required or when in need of
assistance. If the student finds it impossible
to keep the appointment, the student will
notify the advisor.
• Become aware of and adhere to Chemeketa
policies, procedures and requirements.
• Prepare for advising session and bring
appropriate resources and materials.
• Follow through on actions identified during
each advising session.
• Evaluate the advising system, when
requested, in order to strengthen the
advising process.
• Request reassignment of a different advisor
if necessary.
• Accept responsibility for all decisions.
All first year, certificate/degree seeking students
are required to meet with an academic advisor
before registering for classes until they successfully
complete 30 or more credits of 100 level or higher
and have developed an educational plan.
Plan to meet with an advisor or attend an advising
session once a term to make sure you are on track
to accomplish your educational goals. An easy
way to remember when to see an advisor is at
Halloween, Valentine’s Day and Cinco de Mayo.
Those points during the year will be a good time to
begin planning your courses for the next term and
the schedule of classes will also be available.

Answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about Financial Aid
• The recommended application dates for the 2020/2021 school year are as follows:
FAFSA and paperwork Submitted By
Summer April 20, 2020
Fall July 13, 2020
Winter October 19, 2020
Spring February 21, 2021
If you did not meet these deadlines your aid may not be ready for that term. You will need to pay for your own books and
supplies and should set up a payment plan with Business Services to avoid late fees.
• Check your financial aid status in your My Chemeketa student account for further information. We will notify you by My
Chemeketa email once we receive your information. Continue to watch your My Chemeketa account for changes or emails from our
office. Within the financial aid tab you will need to make sure that you are on the correct aid year (2020–2021).
• Payment plans are set up through Business Services
Credit/Debit card payments We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. You can pay online at
my.chemeketa.edu or over the phone by calling 503.399.5011 Monday–Friday 8 am–5 pm.
Online Payment Plan You can enroll online in an automated payment plan by selecting the link available on my.chemeketa.edu
under the Student tab, Student Menu, Arrange for payment, Set up a Payment Plan.
• No/Show Drop If you are dropped from a class by your instructor and do not re-enroll, federal regulations require that we adjust
your Pell grant. You WILL owe money back to the college. A bill will be sent to you.
• Loan Process It may take approximately 1 to 2 weeks for your loan funds to pay out after you have completed all of the loan
requirements. All loan borrowers must complete Entrance Counseling and have a valid Master Promissory Note (MPN) on file with
Federal Student Aid (FSA) through www.studentloans.gov.
• 30 Day Hold If this is your first term borrowing loan funds at Chemeketa Community College, Federal regulations require that you
fulfill a 30 day attendance verification period before your loan funds can be disbursed. This means 30 days from the first day of the
term that you are eligible for loan funds.
• 2020–2021 Award or enrollment changes You must wait until you have been awarded in order to make changes for the
2020–2021 school year. Most changes can be made on the “Request for Change” form that is available in our lobby, public
website, and on your student account.
• Financial Aid for the 2020–2021 academic year You must reapply for financial aid for each academic year (summer to spring) you
attend classes. **Submit a FAFSA Earlier: Students will be able to file a 2021–2022 FAFSA on Oct. 1, 2020.

separation from the college. The Executive Dean
of Students or designee may impose expulsion.
Conditions of readmission, if any, shall be stated in the
order of expulsion.
I. Charges of Student Misconduct
The Student Code of Conduct procedures are designed to
afford complainants and respondents a fair and accessible
process that educates students about their rights and
responsibilities, holds students accountable for their actions,
and provides due process.
Chemeketa Community College emphasizes the importance of
direct, courteous, and respectful communication to informally
resolve concerns and complaints whenever possible. In most
cases, issues involving student misconduct are able to be
resolved using an informal process. This may include a meeting
with the Executive Dean of Students or designee and/or referral
to Counseling or other college services. This meeting is typically
considered a learning opportunity for the respondent to make
behavioral changes and no further action is necessary. However,
when the misconduct rises to a level that informal resolution
cannot be reached, the formal disciplinary process, as outlined
below, may be initiated.
Process
1. Any member of the college community may submit a
complaint against a student for violation of the code
of student conduct. Any formal complaint must be
submitted in writing to the Office of Student Affairs ten
(10) business days from the date the person became
aware, or reasonably can be expected to have become
aware, of the alleged violation.
2. The Executive Dean of Students or designee will
schedule an initial meeting with the respondent to
discuss the complaint.
3. During the initial meeting, the Executive Dean of
Students or designee will explain the process, the
respondent’s rights and responsibilities, and review
the complaint and alleged violation(s) of the code of
student conduct. The Executive Dean of Students or
designee will seek information from the respondent
regarding the allegations and gather additional
information from other involved parties or observers as
part of the investigatory process.
4. If there is more than one respondent involved in
the complaint, the Executive Dean of Students or
designee has sole discretion to permit the conferences
concerning each respondent to be conducted either
separately or jointly.
5. The Executive Dean of Students or designee will
investigate to determine if there is a preponderance of
evidence (i.e., more likely than not) that the complaint
has merit and will take one of the following actions:
i. If determined that the case has no merit, the case
will be dismissed;
ii. If determined that the case has merit, the
Executive Dean of Students or designee will
attempt to resolve the complaint informally
through a meeting with the goal of creating a
learning opportunity, and encourage behavior
modification;
iii. If determined the case has merit, and behavior(s)
are deemed egregious, a formal process of
disciplinary steps and sanctions will be enforced to
bring resolution to the complaint.
6. 6. If the respondent and the Executive Dean of
Students or designee mutually agree to the resolution
of the complaint, which may or may not include
sanctions, the resolution will be put in writing and
there will be no subsequent proceedings;
7. If the respondent disagrees with the Executive Dean of
Students or designees decision and resolution of the
complaint, the respondent may appeal the decision to
the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services
within ten (10) business days, see Appeal Process
section.
8. At any time during this process, failure to respond
to the Executive Dean of Students, or designee may
subject the respondent to an academic hold and the
outcome of the complaint will be reviewed in the
respondent’s absence.
J. Sanctions
Any student found to have violated the Code of Conduct will be
subject to one or more of the following consequences:
Student Handbook 41
1. Warning: Written notice to a student that the student
has been in violation of college policy or has otherwise
failed to meet the college’s standards of conduct. Such
warnings will include the statement that continuation
or repetition of the specific conduct involved or other
misconduct may result in one of the more serious
consequences.
2. Reprimand: Written action censuring a student for
violation of college policy or otherwise failing to
meet the college’s standards of conduct. The written
reprimand will be filed in the Office of Student
Affairs or designee for the duration of the student’s
attendance at the college. A reprimand will include the
statement that continuation or repetition of the specific
conduct involved or other misconduct may result in
one of the more serious consequences.
3. Probation: Conditions placed upon the student’s
continued attendance for violation of this chapter.
Notice will be made in writing and specify the period
of probation and the conditions to be met by the
student. Disciplinary probation may be for a specific
term or for an indefinite period, which may extend to
graduation. Violation of the terms of the probation or
violation of any college policy during the probation
period may be grounds for additional consequences.
4. Loss of privileges: Denial of specified privileges for a
designated period of time.
5. Restitution: Compensation for loss, damage, or injury.
This may take the form of appropriate service and/or
monetary or material replacement.

degree awarded from the college may be withheld for
a specified amount of time.
7. Revocation of admission or degree: Admission to

to, acts of dishonesty.
8. Other possible consequences: Work assignments,
essays, service to the college, or other related
discretionary assignments.
9. No contact: The student may have no contact with
other stated members of the college community.
10. Suspension: Exclusion of a student from classes in
a program or service area, and college-sponsored
functions for a specified period of time as set forth
in the notice of suspension. The Executive Dean of
Students or designee may impose suspension from
classes in a program, from a service area, or from
college-sponsored functions in consultation with
the appropriate Dean/Director. Suspension may not
exceed one term.
11. Expulsion: Permanent separation of a student from
a program or service area or conditional separation
from the college. The Executive Dean of Students
or designee may impose expulsion. Conditions of
readmission, if any, shall be stated in the order of
expulsion.
12. Emergency suspension: In certain circumstances, the
Executive Dean of Students or designee, may impose
an emergency suspension. Emergency suspension may
be imposed:
i. To ensure the student’s own physical or emotional
safety and well-being; or
ii. To ensure the safety and well-being of members of
the college community or preservation of college
property; or
iii. If the student poses an ongoing threat of
disruption or interference with the normal
operations of the college.
iv. During the emergency suspension, a student will
be denied access to the campus (including classes)
and/or all other college activities or privileges for
which the student might otherwise be eligible,
as the Executive Dean of Students or designee
determines to be appropriate.
13. Emergency suspension procedures: The student will
be notified in writing of this action and the reasons for
the emergency suspension. The student will also be
informed in writing of the time, date and place of an
initial meeting.
i. An initial meeting will take place within five (5)
business days of the emergency suspension. At
the initial meeting the student may show cause
why his or her continued presence on the campus
does not constitute a threat.
ii. At the initial meeting, the Executive Dean of
Students or designee or designee will decide to
uphold the emergency suspension, dismiss it, or
impose other consequences. The student will be
informed in writing of this decision within ten (10)
business days of the meeting date.
iii. The emergency suspension does not replace
the code of student conduct procedures, which
will proceed on the normal schedule, up to and
through the student conduct appeal process, if
required.
14. Sanctions of suspension, expulsion or revocation or
withholding of a degree will become a permanent part
of a student’s record in the Office of Student Affairs.
15. The following sanctions may be imposed upon groups
or organizations:
i. Those listed above in Sanctions (a-l);
ii. Loss of selected rights and privileges for a
specified period of time or indefinitely;
iii. Loss of Recognition – Chemeketa 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
stated conditions are met.

appeal opportunity.
4. If the student fails to follow through with the above
outlined process or does not meet grounds for appeal,
the appeal opportunity will be forfeited

fair hearing, or if new and significant evidence
becomes available
iii. Dismiss the case if the finding is held to be
unsupported by the evidence
7. Disciplinary action for suspension or dismissal may
be deferred while an appeal is pending, unless, in
the discretion of the Vice President of Instruction

student on the campus poses a substantial threat
to him or herself, to others, or to the stability and
continuance of normal College functions.
L. Non-conduct Related Conflict Resolution
Process
1. Charges of Staff Misconduct—Complaints in this
dispute type refer to perceived violation of law or
college policy or section 3.0, Student Rights, of this
document. These complaints, made by a student do
not include grade issues. Except for sexual harassment
and discrimination complaints, the faculty and staff
members of the College are subject to collective
bargaining agreements and formal disciplinary rules
which are beyond the scope of this document. For this
reason, complaints concerning the conduct of a faculty
or staff member shall be made to the faculty and/or
staff member’s supervisor (i.e. Director or Dean) and
shall be subject to dispute resolution procedures as
the supervisor determines appropriate. If the student
believes that the supervisor has not resolved the issue,
the student may contact the next person in the chain of
authority (i.e. Dean or Executive Dean).
2. Charges of Harassment—Chemeketa is committed
to providing everyone with an environment focused
on learning and growth, free of discrimination or
harassment. Such behaviors will not be tolerated and
are against college policies. For complaints/reports of
sexual harassment, discrimination, and misconduct,
refer to policy # 1750 or go.chemeketa.edu/titleix.
The College has also established a Harassment
Network of staff who can assist student with these
issues. For more information, visit
go.chemeketa.edu/harassment.
3. Instructional Concerns and Complaints—If students
have instructional concerns or questions, they are
encouraged to contact their instructor first to allow
them the chance to address the student’s concerns.
If this has already been done without satisfaction, the
student may contact the appropriate Academic Dean
or Director for assistance.
4. Grade Appeals—Students are encouraged to maintain
frank and open communication with their instructor
concerning their progress and performance throughout
the duration of the course. For more information, refer
to the college Guideline for Grade Appeals.
i. When a student believes that he or she has been
given an inappropriate grade, the student will
speak directly with the instructor in an attempt to
resolve the issue.
ii. If a student receives an unsatisfactory or no
response from the instructor, the student may
appeal the grade by completing the online
grade appeal form and attaching supporting
documentation of the facts cited in the appeal.
iii. The appeal must be submitted no later than 30
calendar days after the grade is posted for the
academic term of the dispute. No exceptions
will be made to this deadline. Please note,
professional-technical program specific deadlines
for Grade Appeals supersede this college-wide
deadline for appeal.
iv. Upon submission, the appeal and supporting
documentation is routed to the appropriate
Academic Dean or Director.
v. The Academic Dean or Director has 30 calendar
days from the date of receipt to respond to the
student via email.
vi. The decision of the Academic Dean or Director is
final, and there is no further appeal beyond this
point.
vii. The Academic Dean or Director will keep a copy
of the appeal for one year.
5. Student Complaints Alleging Violation of a College
Rule, Policy or Procedure—This type of complaint is
used when a student believes that the college, as a
matter of practice, is violating its own rules, policies or
procedures.
The student will submit a complaint in writing to the
Executive Dean of Students or designee that
include the student’s name and nature of the
complaint, and any necessary related supporting
documentation.
Student Handbook 43
ii. Upon receipt of the complaint, the Executive
Dean of Students or designee will schedule a
meeting with the student filing the complaint.
At that meeting, the Executive Dean of Students
or designee shall attempt a resolution of the
complaint.
iii. In the event that the resolution proposed by
the Executive Dean of Students or designee is
not acceptable to the student, the student may
make a secondary appeal to one of the following
administrators, depending on the nature of the
complaint:
• Vice President of Instruction and Student
Services
• Vice President of Governance and
Administration
• Associate Vice President of College Support
Services
• Associate Vice President of Finance
iv. Upon receipt of the student’s appeal, the Vice
President/Associate Vice President shall schedule a
meeting with the student to discuss the complaint.
v. The Vice President/Associate Vice President will
issue a written decision to the student within thirty
(30) calendar days of this meeting. A copy of the
decision will be given to the Executive Dean of
Students or designee.
vi. The decision of the Vice President/Associate Vice
President will be final and not subject to further
appeal.
M. Retaliation
The College seeks to foster an environment in which all
employees and students feel free to report incidents of
misconduct without fear of retaliation or reprisal. Therefore,
the College strictly prohibits retaliation against any individual
for filing a complaint or for participating in an investigation.
Retaliatory conduct is considered a violation of this code.
All allegations of retaliation will be swiftly and thoroughly
investigated. If it is determined that retaliation has occurred, the
College will take all reasonable steps within its power to stop
such conduct. Individuals who engage in retaliatory conduct are
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion and/
or termination.
Any student or employee who believes that he or she has been
harassed or retaliated against in violation of this policy should
immediately report such incidents to the Executive Dean of
Students or designee, or the Director of Human Resources.
N. Interpretation and Revision
1. Any question of interpretation or application of the code
of student conduct will be referred to the Executive
Dean of Students or designee or his or her designee for
final determination.
2. The code of student conduct will be reviewed every
three years under the direction of the Executive Dean of
Students.
O. Student Records
1. Disciplinary sanctions will be made part of both
the complainant’s and the respondent’s education
record. The records may be expunged of disciplinary
consequences, other than expulsion, seven years after
the college term in which the incident occurred. The
exceptions are Academic Honesty infractions, which may
be expunged after 2 years of the incident
2. Records of the process and of the sanctions imposed, if
any, shall be considered to be the education records of
both the respondent(s) and the student(s) claiming to be
the victim.
