- The support staff is available to assist you with materials you need for your course. In that the staff works with faculty in several programs, we ask you adhere to the following guidelines:
Work Orders: For those materials that must be copied for your class, you need to submit your request at least 24 hours in advance. There are two ways you may request copies for your class: (1) complete a Work Request Form available in the Matthews Hall 316 workroom and the document you would like copied with complete instructions. You may also make your copies yourself (in MH 304 only), but please be aware it is not always a good idea to plan on making them just before your class as the machine stays busy much of the time. Please limit those materials you copy and instead post to Blackboard as much as you can. Students may print these materials in any UNT computer lab at no additional cost to them.
Mail: Mail or student materials delivered to the department boxes will be distributed as needed.
FERPA - Family Education Rights & Privacy Act
- FERPA protects students from having their personal or educational information shared. You should protect students' information from others to the extent possible. For example, you cannot require students to post their home addresses or phone numbers publically, perhaps as a “getting to know you” activity. However, you can make such information completely optional for those that wish to share. As another example, you cannot start a sign-up sheet in your class with personal information that you then copy and distribute to the class so everyone will have other's contact information for study purposes.
- FERPA also protects educational information such as grades and feedback to students. Reasonable efforts should be made to make sure this information is given only to the student and not made public. For example, when handing back assignments or exams with grades/comments on them, hand them back upside down with the grade hidden.
