• Where do I go to have copies made?
If you wish to have someone do
your copying for you, bring the original
to your department administrative
assistant(s) at least 24 hours
before your class meeting. Copies
requested less than 24 hours in advance
cannot be guaranteed.
However, if you wish to do your
copying yourself, a copier and access
code must be provided to you. See your academic department
chairs and/or department administrative
assistants for copy codes and
access to the copier. [back to top]
• Where can I get chalk for the classroom and blue books for exams?
Blue books for essay examinations,
pieces of chalk, and whiteboard
markers for your classrom are available
through your department administrative
assistants. [back to top]

• Who do I call regarding computer problems in my classroom?
Monday through Friday during
the day, adjunct faculty, librarians,
PAs, and counselors can call the
ETU (Educational Technology Unit)
for computer classroom assistance.
Ammerman

451-4854*
548-2607*
851-6331*
|
| |
* from a campus phone, dial just the last four digits |
Unfortunately, not all buildings or
campuses have ETU PAs on duty
in the evenings at this time. For instance,
there is a PA on duty for the
3rd floor of the Riverhead Building
in the evenings until 10:00 p.m. because
of the number of technology
labs located there. So, someone working in Islip 201 may call over
there for assistance in the evenings.
Please call the appropriate ETU office
for your campus to find out if
there is ETU evening support in your
building or on your campus. [back to top]
• How do I reserve a room for my classes in the Academic Computing Center?
Each campus has computing centers
with PCs and Mac computers
with various software. At the Ammerman Campus, the computing
center is located in the basement of
the Huntington Library; on the Eastern
Campus in the Orient Building,
Room 237; and at the Grant Campus

• What’s the College’s internet policy?
Your email account through
SCCC belongs to the college and it
is one of the “official” ways the
college communicates with employees.
It could be monitored if inappropriate
use is suspected. Check
the college’s Computer Use
Policy for details. If you are concerned about the
privacy of your personal emails,
it may be advisable to have your
personal and private emails sent to
a different email address separate
from the school. [back to top]
• What is the SCCC list, and how do I get on it?
The “SCCC list” is an email
listserv for the faculty, administration,
and staff of Suffolk County
Community College through which
faculty and administrators can communicate
information, events and
comments about a variety of issues,
some College related, some not.
Contact Kevin McCoy on the
Ammerman Campus (451-4172) to
have your email address added to
the listserv. [back to top]
• I’ve stopped receiving emails from my students. Why?
One reason may be that your email
inbox is too full. It is very important
that you delete old and unnecessary
email from your account
on a regular basis. If your mailbox
becomes too full, it will begin rejecting
emails sent to your address. [back to top]
• Can adjuncts teach distance education courses?
Adjuncts are welcome to teach
distance education (DE) classes, and are
entitled to paid course development
time and training. For more information
about becoming a DE instructor,
see your academic chair. Also
check the Faculty Association contract,
Appendix J, for the contractual
provisions on distance ed. [back to top]
