below 2.0 (3.0 for students in the master’s degree programs), may be placed on probation or dismissed
from the college. A student may only repeat a course in which one of the following grades has been

the grade point average (GPA).
A student may be placed on probation with credit limitations or may be terminated for unsatisfactory

FIT is a dry campus. The possession, sale, use, or distribution of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
No alcohol may be served at any FIT function at which students may be present.
The possession, sale, use, or distribution of illegal drugs or narcotics is a violation of federal law.
Illegal sale or distribution of prescription drugs, controlled substances, or other legal drugs is not
permitted.
RESOURCES FOR ASSISTANCE

All students are encouraged to seek help early in the discovery of a problem with alcohol and/or
other drugs, and to learn how to assist others with substance abuse problems. The earlier the
assistance is obtained, the less likely there will be serious negative consequences resulting from
an alcohol or other drug problem. There are many resources on campus and in the community for
assistance.
College resources such as the Counseling Center and Health Services are confidential and free of
charge. In addition, non-college resources in the community are also available and information on
these can be obtained in both the Counseling Center and Health Services.
LOST AND FOUND

Any lost or found items on campus should be brought to the attention of Security in Room D-442.
There is no guarantee that a lost article will be held more than two weeks. We encourage ALL

New York law requires all college students born on or after January 1, 1957 to provide
documentation of two separate measles vaccinations, one rubella, and one mumps vaccination.
Each must be given on or after the student’s first birthday, and after 1967.
Students who do not fulfill their vaccination obligations will be

deregistered from their classes.

CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT
• No food or drink in classrooms.

• Never cut on top of any desk/table surfaces.
• Never use any type of sprays in rooms or hallways.
• Always clean up after yourself.
Working with Sharp Objects – AVOID THE SHARP EDGE

• Use caution when cutting any material with a sharp tool.
• Take your time – stress and rushing contribute to injuries.
• Always use a proper work surface when using utility knives or sharp tools.
• Do not lean a project on your legs or any other part of your body while cutting.
• Always work in sufficient light. Working where you can’t see will only increase
the likelihood of an injury.
• NEVER put your hand in front of a sharp tool to anchor materials.
• Always, keep your hands behind the blade so if it slips, you won’t be injured.
• NEVER pick up any used sharp objects without using gloves.
Trouble-Shooting Sewing Machines

• Please check the following before asking for a technician:
• Make sure the machine is plugged into the outlet.
• Use proper needle [long groove to the left].
• Make sure needle that is in the machine doesn’t have a “BURR”.
• Check to see that the machine is properly threaded.
• Check to see that the proper thread is being used.
• Check to make sure you are using the correct bobbin and bobbin case.
• Check to see that the needle is threaded from left to right.
• Check to make sure that the student is not holding the thread for a couple
of stitches.
• If all the above fails, then please contact B-701 for a technician.

Dress Forms
Handle dress forms with care. They dent; the fabric may tear; they are not quickly replaceable;
they are important to every student’s projects.
Moving the forms: To prevent figures from falling, move by holding with one hand under the
form and one hand at the neck and push.
• DO NOT MARK FIGURES IN ANY WAY.
• Do not pull muslin off the figures without removing pins first.
• Do not lift figures too high (they will get stuck).
If dress forms need repair (wheels, stuck, etc.) place a sign on the form and leave close to
the door so that the technicians will notice it.
Be considerate of the next student using the forms

• Do not leave style tape or shoulder pads on the forms.
• Do not remove dress forms from their assigned rooms.
• At the end of class, return dress forms to their storage place.
• When you arrive in class, take a look around for figures left in the aisles. Move figures to their
storage place so that instructor can walk around and help you better.
Figure Report Chart

Make note of any damaged figures. Fill out the figure report chart if dress form is damaged. Make
note of the figure number and the day and time you discovered the figure damaged.
Iron Safety and Use

• Irons need about 15 minutes to heat up before using steam (or water will leak and
• spoil your fabric).
• Do not leave iron on the fabric part of the ironing board. It will burn the ironing
• board cover and stain fabric.
• Always test a piece of your fabric before pressing to assure it is not too hot, etc.
• When signing out a room, if you are one of the last students in the room, shut off the power.
• Use a pressing cloth to protect fabric.
• You may need to protect the ironing board from fabrics that crack or bleed. Use muslin on the
board. Always double check the correct side of fusibles before ironing. Place a small piece
between a folded piece of muslin and press to see which is the sticky side.

important! If you do not sign out with Security you will be blocked from checking out a
