Put New Mandatory Syllabus Statement
If you need to drop a RM course please notify our office immediately. If you’ve already registered for the course on the University’s SMART system you must drop it online there. You are not automatically dropped from the class after notifying our office, you are only taken off of our databases. We cannot administratively drop you, you must do it yourself. You will be responsible for the tuition If you fail to drop the course on the SMART system BEFORE the deadline posted on our calendar and communicated to you in numerous emails. If you miss the deadline for an SFU course you will need to complete the Schedule Adjustment Form found under Participation Forms. Fax the form to us and we’ll sign it then send it to the correct registrar contact. If you miss the deadline for a Content course you will have to submit a full petition to Dr. Tammy Stone the CLAS Dean. As of Fall 2008 her office notified us that they will no longer accept Schedule Adjustment Forms from our grant, because of their high use in the past. We will not award stipends to individuals who fail to add the class on time, regardless of their attendance.
Stipend Related information for instructors
Stipends are paid to participants only after successful completion of each class. Successful completion of classes includes attending all class and completing all work. Participants are allowed one absence during the course, but the time and work must be made up. More than one absence results in a forfeiture of the stipend and credit. Participants need to correspond with his or her instructor about arranging make-up work. Instructors need to insure that participants made up the work.

HOW TO GET REIMBURSED FOR CLASS SUPPLIES
University’s Procurement Office would much rather that the RMMSMSP grant office purchases any needed supplies, tax free in lieu of instructors getting reimbursed. If instructors do purchase supplies for the course, those purchases can be reimbursed so long as they are reasonable and relevant for the teaching of the course. To be reimbursed, we need itemized receipts that show proof of purchase (shows the method of payment and shows that the purchase was paid in full). Please note, if you make a purchase and pay cash, please sign the receipt before submitting it. After you make your purchase submit your itemized receipt showing proof of purchase to Zula Ganbold at:
Zula Ganbold
RMMSMSP/UC D
PO Box 173364, Campus Box 153
Denver, CO 80217
Phone: 303-556-2735
You can also drop it off at our office in the CU Building, Room 700N.
ITEMS THAT ARE NOT REIMBURSABLE
Please note, RMMSMSP grant cannot reimburse instructors for any expenses for food unless it is for class experiments. This includes snacks and lunch. Mileage or parking will not be reimburse.
$500 LIMIT FOR SUPPLY PURCHASES
As of last semester we have implemented a $500 limit for supply purchases. This means some supplies will need to be purchased by participants. Most likely textbooks will be the participants’ main purchase. Therefore, the instructor is responsible for adding the textbook name and ISBN information to the intro/welcome letter. Please send out intro/welcome letters with ample amount of time for your participants to purchase the supplies. If instructors would prefer, we may also order (not purchase) textbooks from the Auraria Bookstore and participants may purchase them from there.
CALCULATORS MUST BE RETURNED (Math classes only)
Class sets of calculators and Panel/View Screens must be returned to us by the end of the semester. Participants will be required to check in and check out calculators before receiving their stipend. Starting from summer 2008, we will assign a number to each calculator, which will allow instructors to keep track of the calculators. Instructors need to insure that each participant returned the calculator at the end of last class.
