Policies

Important note: Please read carefully and check the boxes below to confirm your agreement to the following CRP conditions and policies.

  1. CRP does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religious creed, sexual orientation and/or veteran status.
  2. CRP reserve the right to reject applicants whom we feel are not appropriate candidates for CRP.
  3. Participating in and successfully completing CRP (by earning a 2.0+ CRP GPA) does not ensure that you will be re-accepted into an RIT academic program. CRP will provide a written final report to the department of your choice for reinstatement; however, the final decision of reinstatement is determined by the individual department head.
  4. CRP follows RIT’s policy of sharing information in relation to a student’s academic progress, or lack thereof, on a “need-to-know” basis. This means that CRP has the right to communicate with your current professors, department heads, deans and other administrative offices such as the Office of Financial Aid, Residence Life, Student Financial Services, Athletics, Registrar's and Student Conduct, as well as to parents in regard to your academic performance and contributing factors.
  5. The only time CRP will not communicate with parents/guardians is when a student’s parents/guardians have provided the Registrar's Office a copy of their most recent federal tax return as proof of the student’s financial independence.

Permission to Release

Before submitting this form, please read the explanation of student rights under FERPA and CRP’s policies for sharing information related to academic performance.

All students wishing to participate in the College Restoration Program must submit this form no matter his or her age or dependent status (unless he or she has a formal declaration of emancipation filed with the Registrar’s Office and does not want CRP to communicate with parents/guardians).

If you have filed a formal declaration of emancipation with the Registrar’s Office, please check here:

Permission to Release Information

While I am in the College Restoration Program I, , hereby give my permission to allow CRP faculty, staff, and mentors to share information relating to my academic performance with third parties. This includes, without limitation, my current term instructors, deans, department heads, academic coordinators and advisors, as well as my parents, RIT administrative offices such as Financial Aid, Registrar's, Student Financial Aid, Housing, Athletics, Disability Services, and Student Conduct.I understand that the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) protects the privacy of my educational records and I specifically consent to the release of these records to third parties as mentioned in this application.

I understand that there will be at least three documents that will be sent to my parents: a welcoming letter, the Mid-Term Progress Note, and the CRP Final Summary Report. In addition, I understand that if my parent/guardian calls/e-mails my CRP mentor or the Program Cordinator, these people will return the call/e-mail and respond to any inquiry related to my academic performance. I also understand that this communication may include observations about my behavior in the classroom, professional opinions about my behavior as it relates to learning, disability information or medical/psychological information, and recommendations for further evaluation or for resources available to me at RIT. Any concerns regarding CRP’s policy can be directed to Dawn Herman,CRP Program Coordinator,2120 SAU, 475-2982, dawn.herman@rit.edu.

Release of Student Information in CRP

If you are eighteen years or older and/or a college student, the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) protects the privacy of your educational records. Essentially, FERPA is “applicable to schools/colleges that receive federal funds (or their students receive federal funds)...and “provides parent/student access to educational records” ...while at the same time protecting “the privacy of those records.” (Nixon Peabody LLP 06/03)

In regard to our work with students in the College Restoration Program, FERPA allows us, the CRP faculty, staff, and mentors, to share information of “legitimate educational interest” within RIT. This means we have the right to share information, such as your transcript or academic advising report, and any further information, including our professional opinion, relating to your academic progress or lack thereof on a “need to know” basis. Typically, we may share information with your current instructors, FYE coaches, department heads, and academic advisors. In addition, we may communicate with certain administrative offices such as Financial Aid, Registrar’s, Student Financial Services, Disability Services, Housing, and Student Conduct. The type of educational records includes your grades, grade point average (GPA), your course schedule, a record of misconduct (but not the specific behaviors) and any other information relating to your academic performance.

In order for the CRP faculty, staff and mentors to work with students facing probation or suspension, we ask each applicant to sign and date a Permission to Release Information form, no matter what the age or dependent status. Our communication with parents includes a welcoming letter to verify the student’s participation in CRP, and copies of the Mid-Term Progress Note and the Final CRP Report which are sent to parents as well as to the student. We will not conduct outreach to parents unless we suspect the student is in harm or harming others; however, if a parent inquires, we will provide “educational information” on a “need to know” basis. We will not disclose personal information unless it directly relates to academic performance. We may recommend that a student seek a professional evaluation and/or access campus resources available to them. For students who have filed a formal declaration of emancipation with the Registrar’s Office, we will not send any correspondence to parents. For students who are financing their college education, we still have the right to correspond with parents unless there is a formal emancipation filed with the Registar’s Office. Any concerns regarding CRP’s policy can be directed to Dawn Herman, SAU-2120, 475-2982, dawn.herman@rit.edu.

Students need to be aware that disclosing disability information or medical/psychological information in their final letter of appeal for reinstatement means that this information will be in their academic folder. Department heads, faculty, and advisors have legal right to access any information in the student’s academic folder since it is a formal “educational record.” We encourage students to avoid including personal information or any disability specifics in their letter. However, the final decision is the student's.

CRP faculty and mentors are also aware that they are often privy to sensitive information when working with their students in CRP. However, any formal reports will reflect their observations, professional opinions, and recommendations in general terms in order to respect the privacy of the student.

For further information on RIT’s and CRP’s compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (commonly known as the Buckley Amendment), please see RIT’s “RIT Educational Records” in the handbook of Student’s Rights & Responsibilities.

Academic Contract
College Restoration Program
Rochester Institute of Technology

This document is the "Academic Contract" I will uphold if accepted into the College Restoration Program (CRP). By providing my initials next to each category, I confirm that I have read and agreed to each item.

  1. I will provide a working phone number where I can be reached. If I can't be reached, CRP has the right to contact my parents/guardians.
  2. I give CRP permission to contact my parents/guardians in the following manner:
    • Initial Parent/Guardian Letter at the beginning of the term
    • CRP Mid-Term Grade Report
    • CRP Final Summary Report
  3. I will read my RIT e-mail daily. If I have another e-mail address I must arrange to have my mail forwarded to my RIT account.
  4. I will check my CRP mail folder weekly (located outside the CRP classroom)
  5. I will attend all "credit" and CRP classes, labs, study groups, conferences, and mentor meetings. CRP does not distinguish between "excused" and "unexcused" absences, which are recorded for each CRP class I miss and on a daily basis. I understand if I have five (5) or more class, and/or mentor meeting absences I will receive a written warning. If I have eight (8) or more individual class and/or mentor meeting absences I will be contacted by the CRP Program Coordinator, and my parents may also be contacted. I understand that if illness or anything else prevents me from attending class(es)/mentor meetings, I need to notify all instructors and my mentor, even though I will accrue an absence(s).
  6. I will complete & submit all "quality" assignments on time, in class, on the day they are due.
  7. I understand that there may be negative consequences for not turning in assignments, due to class absences or other situations that may arise and that I may not be allowed to make up ANY missing assignments.
  8. I will arrive on time for all classes, labs, study groups, conferences and mentor meetings. I understand that consistent tardiness may lower my grade in a class.
  9. I will meet weekly with my CRP mentor. I understand that failure to meet weekly with my mentor will result in accruing absences.
  10. I will meet all financial obligations to the Institution.
  11. I will purchase all CRP and credit course required materials before the start of the classes, as noted in the CRP Handbook, including the required textbooks.
  12. I will follow Institute and CRP policies and procedures as directed in the CRP Handbook and by the Program Coordinator. I understand that failure to meet my obligations may result in unsuccessful completion of CRP, thus being placed on suspension.
  13. I agree to communicate and establish a meeting with a prospective academic department for reinstatement no later than week 9 of the term. I understand that it's my responsibility to contact each department I try to get reinstated into to find out the results of my Change of Program Application, after CRP has ended.
  14. I will conduct myself in a respectful and mature manner at all times. I understand that if an instructor or mentor deems my behavior inappropriate, I will be asked to leave class or my mentor meeting.
  15. I agree to abide by the RIT and CRP code of conduct as outlined in the Students' Rights and Responsibilities and CRP Handbooks.
  16. I understand that there are no course withdrawals from CRP or credit courses, and I will not try to alter my course schedule at any time while in CRP.
  17. I understand that the consequences for breach of this contract may result in suspension.
