Welcome New Instructors!
Welcome to the CU Succeed Program! We are always excited to add new people to this ever expanding program. New instructors means new opportunities for students to earn college credit for the difficult course work they take in high school.
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the program, outline expectations, and link you to resources regarding CU Succeed.
EXPECTATIONS:
Course Title-
As a lecturer and adjunct faculty member of The University of Colorado Denver, you are qualified and have been approved to teach the course for which you’ve applied. Your course syllabus and teaching credentials have been reviewed and approved by the chair of the department from which your course is offered. You represent UC Denver. We ask that you always keep that in mind when communicating to your students about your course. Referring to your course with the UC Denver course number and title helps students remember that they are taking a college course, not a high school course for college credit.
Notification of Course Offering-
Every semester you will be asked to notify CU Succeed about your intent to offer a course. There is a portion of the CU Succeed website devoted entirely to you. On the teacher home page, you will find the link entitled “notify the University of your upcoming course offering”. Please fill out that form and submit it prior to every semester. In the event you will offer a course that extends through the entire year, you will only need to fill out that form prior to the fall semester.
Updated Course Syllabus-
Once you’ve submitted your notification of course offering, you will need to submit a syllabus. Though we may have a syllabus on file from a previous semester, you must submit an updated syllabus, including meeting dates and times. You may submit your syllabus by mail, fax, or email.
Registration Instructions-
Your students will be required to go online each semester to register for your course. You will be sent registration instructions prior to each registration period. It is helpful to review those instructions carefully to insure you are familiar with the registration process. You are your student’s first point of contact. You will be asked to deliver those registration instructions, as well as a parent/guardian consent form, prior to registration each semester.
Course Roster and Parent/Guardian Consent Forms-
Once you’ve established who will be taking your course for UC Denver credit, you will be asked to submit a course roster. That roster should list only those students in your course who plan to register through CU Succeed and pay the tuition required to obtain college credit. We also ask that you collect all parent/guardian consent forms from those students. The parent/guardian consent form insures these students’ parents are aware of the tuition cost associated with this program.
Evaluations-
Near the end of each semester, you will be asked to have your students complete course evaluations. This is in accordance with CCHE and required of every course offered through UC Denver. The course evaluations will be provided for you and mailed out by CU Succeed.
Grade Sheets-
Grade sheets will be mailed at the end of every semester. These forms will be the final and official record of your students’ progress in your course. They will be pre-printed with your name, as well as, their names. Please ensure they are accurate prior to completing and submitting them back to UC Denver. These grades will become a permanent part of your student’s academic record, so it is important to be accurate.
