REMINDER ON POSTING GRADES
Federal law (FERPA) prohibits posting grades using student names and/or
identification numbers. However, it is permissible to post by code name
or number (not the Oneonta I.D. number, social security number, or any
part thereof) agreed to by the student and the faculty member. Wherever
you post grades, please scramble the names on the roster before
assigning codes so that the list does not reflect an alphabetical
listing of your roster. It is also against FERPA regulations to leave
students’ graded work in a general pick up area. Graded course work must
be returned individually to students. Please be aware that under no
circumstances may a listing of student names and ID numbers, or any part
thereof be posted for any reason. Violations of this law can result in
termination of Federal funding to the college. Questions regarding the
privacy of student records should be directed to Bill Grau, College
Registrar at x3216 or via e-mail at graufw@oneonta.edu.

Congratulations to the College on receiving a state grant in the amount of $100,000 for the Science Discovery Center, the interactive science educational facility that has served over 100,000 visitors since its founding in 1990 by Professor Emeritus Albert Read. The legislative initiative grant to the College was a direct result of the efforts of State Senator James L. Seward.

The center's director is Hugh Gallagher, Jr., Physics and Astronomy. Plans for the grant include increasing contact with science and math teachers in area schools, establishing a library space with resources such as books and computers for the use of educators, and hosting workshops on developing effective science demonstrations. The grant will also assist with re-decorating the center, developing new exhibits, and enhancing the interactivity of other exhibits. Located in the Physical Science Building, the Science Discovery Center is a hands-on science museum for all ages. More information about the center and the grant is available from Dr. Gallagher at x3177.
