7 Institutional History J. F. Ingram State Technical College (ISTC) was established by the Alabama legislature, in 1965, as J. F. Ingram State Technical Institute. It was named for John Fred Ingram, a nationally-known pioneer in vocational education, who had served as Alabama s director of Vocational Education from 1957 until The school was first located on the grounds of Draper Correctional Center in Elmore, Alabama. Maehugh T. Duncan was appointed as the school s first director. Mr. Duncan recruited a capable staff, and programs were established that met the needs of the students, business and industry, as well as internal correctional department worker needs. New facilities were constructed in 1970 adjacent to the Frank Lee Youth Center, at Deatsville, approximately seven miles from the original site, but still within manageable transportation range for the available student population. Growth and improvement followed a steady pace during these years. When Mr. Duncan retired, Dr. Murry C. Gregg was appointed to succeed him in 1976 (he retired in 1995). Many changes occurred during Dr. Gregg s tenure. In 1977, the Commission on Occupational Institutions (COEI) of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accredited the school for the first time. In 1983, the Alabama State Board of Education (ASBE) renamed the school ISTC. The chief administrative officer was called the president, and enrollment increased dramatically along with the physical facilities and faculty. After a short experimental period as a community college ( ), the ASBE returned the college to its traditional role as a vocational/technical and basic education institution. Today, it remains accredited by the Council on Occupational Education (COE), the national organization that evolved from the regional COEI. J. F. Ingram State Technical College has achieved significant recognition as a correctional education institution. In 1980, a U. S. Department of Education-funded (USDE) study ranked the school as one of the top ten such programs in the country. In 1986, another USDE study, Education in Correctional Settings: A Guide to Developing Quality Vocational and Adult Basic Education Programs, named ISTC as a model. In 1985, the college was one of the charter members of the National Correctional Education Consortium, and J. M. Milt Mulder, the college s dean of instruction, was elected as its first president. In 1997, the ASBE appointed J. Douglas Chambers the third president of ISTC. Today the college has three major centers and several other programs that operate inside various correctional facilities. The school has extensive support service projects, student recognition programs, and job placement assistance programs. There are currently over twenty different programs by the school s curriculum. In addition, hundreds of students are improving their basic academic skills. ISTC is proud to provide these services to benefit incarcerated individuals in preparation for a new and better life for themselves, their families, and their communities. [7]

8 Philosophy ISTC is guided by the belief that all individuals should have the opportunity to achieve their highest potential for employment, advancement in the world of work, and fulfillment of productive citizenship. The college believes that successful achievement in a chosen field of work enables individuals to be contributors to their community and to the economy. We believe that quality vocational/technical education programs assure one s ability to continue to learn, to adapt to changes in the workplace, and that education is vital to both the state s and the nation s well-being. Furthermore, we believe that incarcerated individuals should have the opportunity to benefit from educational programs so that upon return to their families and communities, they can assume a role of law-abiding, tax-paying citizens. Our own experience demonstrates, and other studies verify, that incarcerated students who complete quality educational programs have significantly lower rates of recidivism than those who do not. Therefore, we are confident that incarcerated individuals can make constructive changes in their attitudes and abilities through educational experiences at ISTC. We are dedicated to providing a balanced work-oriented, and basic skills learning environment where those changes can take place. We believe that this college is an invaluable resource in helping provide skilled workers to meet the needs of businesses and industry in this state. We believe in the wisdom of experience and diversity of advisement; therefore, we rely upon the oversight of a broad-based general advisory council and the expertise of vocational/technical craft committees. The collective effect of such guidance assures that our educational programs will continue to meet the needs of our students and society. Institutional Mission The mission of the college is accomplished under policy direction from the Alabama State Board of Education, the chancellor of the Alabama College System (ACS), and through the president of ISTC. A statement of the mission of the college was included in Act 110, by the legislature, in Generally, the Code of Alabama, 1975, Section , prescribed the mission to be the instruction of students to such competency levels that they are qualified for employment in useful occupations, and to prepare them to take their places as useful citizens in our society. ISTC s current purpose statement was developed by the institutional purpose committee and reviewed by the general advisory council during the accreditation self-study process in September The mission statement was modified in July 1996, to reflect the ASBE action that returned the school from community college status to a technical college (see history section for comments). The mission statement was again revised in 1998 in preparation for re-accreditation efforts. [8]

9 Statement of Institutional Mission J. F. Ingram State Technical College is a public two-year institution and a member of the Alabama Community College System. The College is committed to providing quality educational opportunities through a wide variety of career and technical education programs, including adult education, postsecondary certificate and associate degree program to incarcerate adults. Vision The vision of J.F. Ingram State Technical College is to lead the nation in providing correctional educational program through professional services and personnel, promoting activities to reduce recidivism, increasing public safety, and sustaining fiscal accountability for the citizenry of Alabama.

Adult literacy classes and General Education Development (GED) examination preparation classes are taught inside the Draper, Staton, and Tutwiler correctional facilities. GED classes are also offered at the various work release centers. Nondiscrimination Policy Statement In accordance with the official policy of the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education (ASDPE) and the Alabama State Board of Education (ASBE) as well as all other applicable federal regulations, ISTC is committed to equal opportunity in employment and education. No person in Alabama shall, on the grounds of race, color, handicap, gender, religion, creed, national origin, or age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program, activity, or employment or any other protected status. It is the policy of ISTC to comply fully with all applicable provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended; the age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended; and all regulations, guidelines, and standards lawfully adopted under the statutes. These statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, handicap, gender, or age. Any student or employee or specific class of persons who believe themselves to have been subjected to discrimination prohibited by any of these statutes may, in person or by personal representative, file a written complaint with ISTC s institutional compliance officer, Erica Turner, Coordinator of Human Resources, J. F. Ingram State Technical College, 5375 Ingram Road, Post Office Box , Deatsville, Alabama. [12]

13 Correctional Education Policy Statement As stated in the above non-discrimination policy (equal opportunity/equal access), decisions about student participation in programs or courses at ISTC are made without regard to the applicant s race, color, disability, gender, religion, creed, national origin, or age. However, the school does operate under certain ASBE polices, which affect inmate student participation. Specifically, ASBE policy , which is also a state statute ( and Code of Alabama, 1975, as amended), addresses correctional education and is reprinted in its entirety below. The student or prospective student should read the reprinted policy both for admissions restrictions, financial aid restrictions, and program transfer limitations. State Board Policy Correctional Education 1.1 Institutions authorized by the State Board of Education to participate in correctional education may waive the payment of tuition, fees, and special costs for only one program completion per incarcerated student. No state funds shall be used to underwrite tuition, fees, and special costs for incarcerated students who enroll in a second program of study, excluding adult literacy and other remedial education courses. Consequently, ISTC charges $ per semester hour for students who have completed a program of study while incarcerated. 2.1 Enrollment by incarcerated students in any occupational/technical program at an Alabama College System (ACS) institution will be based on the ability to benefit as determined by the institution. After such enrollment, only one program-to-program change per incarcerated student is permitted excluding adult literacy and other remedial education courses. 3.1 All inmates approved for enrollment at an ACS institution must be provided with an opportunity for admission to and completion of adult basic education, adult literacy, and general education programs. Prior to the enrollment of an occupational student in a program of study, the incarcerated student must be able to read. 4.1 University transfer programs or courses for incarcerated students at ACS institutions are prohibited. 5.1 Inmates serving life sentences, without possibility of parole, may enroll in courses or programs at ACS institutions after establishing the ability to benefit. Then, such inmates must either pay all tuition, fees, and special costs of such course or program, or they must secure funds from other than state sources for said educational offerings. 6.1 The chancellor of the ASDPE shall issue guidelines as necessary for the administration and enforcement of these provisions. Students who need to discuss their individual situations relative to the above policy should seek assistance from the student services representatives at their respective center. Some of the issues involved will be discussed again separately in other sections of this catalog. [13]

14 Safety Procedures The practice of safety is an integral part of all instruction at ISTC. The school has a comprehensive safety plan and operations manual, which is evaluated and updated annually. The document is available at all centers in the administrative and student services offices. Among the topics covered are of the following: each program area has a first-aid kit for the treatment of minor injuries; major health concerns are the legal responsibility of the Department of Corrections (DOC); smoking is not permitted except in specifically designated areas; instructors and other employees are not permitted to provide any medication to a student; and detailed procedures are included to handle both natural and man-made emergencies. Standards of Conduct During the registration process, students read and attest to their understanding of the student regulations and conduct code as they appear in the student handbook. Any violation of any part of the student conduct code can result in dismissal. Inmate students are strongly cautioned that the correctional education environment places responsibilities on students and staff that cannot be ignored. Students and prospective students must be aware that each semester a behavioral report on each student is sent directly to the warden of the student s respective correctional facility. This report contains an evaluation by the occupational program instructor of criteria related to security risk and release suitability as reflected in the student s behavior and work habits. center. A copy of this report form can be obtained from the student services representative at the student s ISTC Drug-Free Workplace Policy In compliance with the drug-free workplace requirements of Public Law for recipients of federal contracts and grants, and ASBE action Item No. XI-1 of March 30, 1989, ISTC has established a comprehensive controlled substance policy. This policy (Number H-13) details the responsibilities of all employees and the administrative procedures that will be followed should the policy be violated. Privacy of Student Records Policy In accordance with Public Law , the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, all students, and former students, of ISTC have the right to inspect their official educational records in the registrar s office. This act limits the release of information by the college concerning a student without the student s written permission. Sexual Harassment Policy Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. Policy H-16 of the J. F. Ingram State Technical College Policies and Procedures Manual addresses this issue. It is the policy of the college to maintain a working and learning environment that is free of sexual harassment. Anyone who wishes to obtain a copy of this policy, or believes that he or she has been sexually harassed and wishes to file a complaint, should contact the college s designated compliance officer: Personnel Director, J. F. Ingram State Technical College, 5375 Ingram Road, P. O. Box , Deatsville, Alabama, [14]

15 Grievance Procedures A grievance is an alleged violation, misunderstanding, or misinterpretation of school policy by any member of the professional staff, nonprofessional staff, or the student body. Students are guaranteed procedural rights and substantial due process in all cases involving formal discipline charges. This also includes academic dismissal cases. Students who believe they have a grievance and wish to pursue the resolution of that grievance should first contact the Dean of Students and Support Services. Someone from his office will be assigned to explain the procedures and implement any proceedings. Any employee who believes that they have a grievance should first contact the personnel director. The purpose of any grievance procedure is to settle equitably, at the lowest possible administrative level, differences and issues related to the school policy. This procedure does not apply to alleged discrimination relating to race, gender, disability, or other federally legislated civil rights. The proceedings will be kept as informal as possible, while retaining confidentiality at all levels of the procedure. Council On Occupational Education, 41 Perimeter Center East, NE, Suite 640, Atlanta, Georgia (800) / (770) and Fax (770) Attendance Policy The student handbook contains the school policy on class attendance by the students. The policy is that students are expected to attend class regularly. In the correctional education environment, students do not always have control over their attendance, and the school s position is that this ASBE policy applies to unexcused absences primarily. Discretion will be used by instructors and the Dean of Students and Support Services in this matter. However, students are strongly advised to attend regularly to avoid problems. Any problems with attendance in class that a student may have should be communicated to the proper school officials. Live-Work Policy It is the philosophy of ISTC, and official ASBE policy, that live work is an essential part of the technical college s instructional program. This live work is done by students in the laboratory component of their curriculum. The instructor will assign live work to students only when they are ready to perform or practice the skill involved at the proper point in the student s program of study. All students must have their instructor s permission before doing any live work. All live work is conducted in accordance with ASBE policies. ISTC s policies and procedures manual, Section F, Item 1-6, covers the specific procedures surrounding the practice of live work at the college. Employees and students should be familiar with these sections. All instructors have a copy of this manual available for reference. Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Policy Statement It is the policy and practice of ISTC to comply fully with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, to ensure equal opportunity in education and employment for all qualified persons with disabilities. The college will make every reasonable attempt to provide accommodations to students and employees with disabilities. It is the responsibility of the student or employee to notify the college of any special needs. If a disability exists which requires special materials or services, this must be made known to the Americans with Disabilities(ADA) Coordinator in the Personnel Office so that adequate accommodations can be made.

17 Admissions and the Office of Student Services General Admission Procedures J.F. Ingram State Technical College Admission to ISTC is open to incarcerated individuals who are in its geographical jurisdiction as prescribed by the Alabama State Board of Education. The primary objective of student services at ISTC is to assist students in formulating and achieving their career, educational, and personal goals. Generally, an applicant must be at least 16 years of age. Although high school graduation or the GED is preferred, non-graduates may be enrolled in some occupational courses. Policy number of the State Board Policy Manual for the Two-Year Postsecondary System contains specific guidelines for correctional education. All incarcerated persons meet with a job board at their correctional institutions, and during these meetings, individuals may request to attend ISTC. The members of the job board include the inmate control officer, the warden or assistant warden, or next-ranking official. A college representative periodically attends the meetings to explain the course offerings and to answer any questions that may arise. Following the job board meeting, the individuals assigned to attend the school are given orientation by a student services representative at the prospective student s educational center. These students are also tested with the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) to determine placement. They are then counseled regarding program assignment. Some programs require higher academic levels than others. A program-by-program listing of minimum reading level entry scores is available from the registrar or any student services representative. With the student s input, a student services representative makes the initial occupational assignment for that student. From the information obtained during the orientation interview, an educational plan of study is designed for each student. This plan includes the occupational and the academic courses that the student will be taking. Prior to the end of the student s second semester of school, the students occupational instructors will evaluate their plans of study and review their goals and progress. This process involves the key people in the delivery of educational services in a way that facilitates cooperation and effectiveness.

Repetition of Courses A student may not repeat for credit any course in which the grade received was A, B, or C, excluding courses which may be repeated for credit as allowed in the course directory. When a student repeats a course in which a D or an F was made, the original grade (GPA), and the repeated grade, will be entered on the student s original transcript. The cumulative grade point average will be determined from all quality points and attempted hours that have been accrued; however, only the last grade awarded will be included in calculating the GPA for graduation purposes. In the case of developmental courses, students who receive either a grade of U or IP for two semesters may not enroll in that course for a third semester until they receive special academic advising. This advising may include requiring a study skill course or other actions considered appropriate by the student s educational planning committee. [19]

20 Grading System Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA): The grade point average is based on all hours attempted at the institution on a 4 point scale as follows: A Excellent: (91-100) 4 Quality Points B Good: (81-90) 3 Quality Points C Average: (71-80) 2 Quality Points D Poor: (61-70) 1 Quality Point F Failure: (60 or less) 0 Quality Point No Quality Points are awarded for the designations listed below: I AU LWW W WP S U IP Incomplete: Must be made up no later than the end of the following semester or the grade of F will be assigned. 0-points. Audit: Course taken for no credit. Must be declared prior to the end of the registration period and may not be changed thereafter. 0-points. Withdrawal: Must be prior to mid-term, otherwise WP or WF must be assigned. Credit hours will not be averaged into the GPA. 0-points. Withdrawal Passing: The student will be assigned a grade of WP if passing at the time of withdrawal. Credit hours will not be averaged into the GPA. 0-points. Satisfactory: For developmental courses. Credit hours will not be averaged into the GPA. Unsatisfactory: For developmental courses, credit hours will not be averaged into the GPA. In Progress: For developmental courses, credit hours will not be averaged into the GPA. Note: Any credit awarded based on a competency exam, or as transfer credit accepted from coursework accomplished at another institution, will be designated as such by the college. All applicable academic designations above will appear on the student s transcript. General Principles for Transfer Credit A course completed at other regionally accredited post-secondary institutions with a passing grade will be accepted for transfer as potentially creditable toward graduation requirements. For student admitted on academic probation, the only course in which they have earned a course grade of C or better will be accepted for transfer. Awarding of transfer credit to fulfill graduation requirements will be based on applicability of the credits to the requirements of the degree sought. Credit may be extended based on the comprehensive evaluation of demonstrated and documented competencies and previous formal training. Note: Transfer credits that are five years old or older will not be accepted. [20]

21 Standards of Academic Progress State Board Policy Standard of Academic Progress These standards of progress shall apply to all students unless otherwise noted. Exceptions 1.1 Required GPA levels for students according to number of hours attempted at institution Students who have attempted semester credit hours at the institution must maintain 1.5 cumulative GPA Students who have attempted semester credit hours at the institution must maintain 1.75 cumulative GPA 1.13 Students who have attempted 33, or more semester, credit hours at the institution must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA. 2.1 Intervention for student success When a student is placed on academic probation, one term academic suspension, or Calendar Year academic suspension, college officials may provide intervention for the student taking steps including, but not limited to, imposing maximum course loads, requiring a study course, and/or prescribing other specific courses. 3.1 Application of standards of progress When the cumulative GPA is at, or above, the GPA required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the institution, the student s status is clear When students cumulative GPA is below that required for the number of credit hours attempted at the institution, they are placed on academic probation. When the cumulative GPA of a student who is on academic probation remains below the GPA required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the institution, but the semester GPA is 2.0, or above, the student remains on academic probation. When the cumulative GPA of a student who is on academic probation remains below the GPA required for the total number of credit hours attempted at the institution, and the semester GPA is below 2.0, the student is suspended for one semester.
