Course Policies
Class Attendance Policy The classroom attendance policy is designed to foster student success. PROMPT and REGULAR attendance is the responsibility, and expected of, each student. You are responsible for all work missed and completing your assignments at the earliest possible dates. Classes Meeting 3 Times a Week Students are permitted three (3) absences. On the fourth absence you will receive a 5-point reduction on you final grade and on the fifth you will receive an additional 5-point reduction on your final grade. When you have missed 6 classes, you will receive an EW or F and you may not return to class.
Classes Meeting 2 Times a Week Students are permitted two (2) absences. On the third absence you will receive a 5-point reduction on your final grade and on the fourth you will receive an additional 5-point reduction on your final grade. When you have missed 5 classes, you will receive an EW or F and you may not return to class.
Classes Meeting 1 Time a Week Students are permitted one (1) absence. On the second absence you will receive a 5-point reduction on your final grade. When you have missed 3 classes you will receive an EW or F and you may not return to class. The instructor will warn a student in danger of becoming excessively absent by sending a warning notice to the student’s advisor so that the student can be contacted by either phone or in writing. If a student is unable to attend a class regularly, regardless of the reason or circumstances, he/she should withdraw from that class before an EW or F is assigned. Exceptions to this attendance rule may be based on individual circumstances and the instructor’s assessment of the student’s ability to finish course requirements. The final decision concerning absences is left to the instructor’s discretion. A student’s attendance will affect their grade in this course. Punctuality: There are no tardies—students are expected to arrive at their classrooms prior to the beginning of classroom activities. Since late arrivals and early departures do disrupt the class, you are hereby put on notice that you can and most likely will be dropped from this course if you are consistently late or leave early or have more than the allowed absences. Any student entering the classroom after the class roll has been taken will be considered absent. There is one exception to this rule: Students who have been held over by their instructor. Academic Integrity Cheating Policy: Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they: 1. Represent the work of others as their own. 2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work. 3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students. 4. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit. 5. Misrepresent the content of submitted work. Administrative Procedure Number: 404.05 Cheating in any form (including using unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise; plagiarism; falsification of records; unauthorized possession of examinations; any and all other actions that may improperly affect the evaluation of a student's academic performance or achievement; and assisting others in any such act) is forbidden. An instructor who has proof that a student is guilty of cheating may take appropriate action up to and including assigning the student a grade of "F" for the course and suspending the student from class. A description of the incident and the action taken will be reported through the dean to the Vice Chancellor for Instruction and placed in the student's file in the Office of Admissions and Records. The student may appeal either the finding of cheating or the penalty, or both, as described in Administrative Procedure No. 404.06, Academic Appeal Procedure. Cheating in this class: Cheating will not be tolerated. If you are cheating on one occasion, you will receive an “F” for the whole project’s work (not limited to that one assignment). If found cheating on a second occasion, you will be asked to drop the class. If the cheating occurs after the drop date, or if you choose not to drop, you will receive an “F” for this class. All work must be on your disk or in your notebook unless the instructor directs you to destroy them. Classroom POLICIES Standards of Behavior: It is this instructor’s desire that every student succeed in this class. Students are hindered in this success if there are classroom distractions. Students are to adhere to the standards of behavior described in the Student Handbook. Students who do not adhere to this policy will be dropped from the class.
