| |CLASS POLICIES: |
| |Academic Dishonesty |
| |Attendance |
| |Class Expectations |
| |Dress Code The EWC Dress Code is enforced for class attendance. |
| |Attendance |
| |Attendance Policy |
| |(Effective Fall 2016-Campus Wide) |
| | |
| |Students must be present for 80% of the scheduled course time in order to receive credit for a course. Please note that students who miss |
| |more than six (6) class periods will not receive credit for the course and will be given an FN grade (Failure for Non-Attendance). We will|
| |no longer provide excused absences to ensure compliance to this policy. Students with extenuating circumstances may appeal to the Office |
| |of Academic Affairs and may be granted an administrative withdrawal from their respective course (s) and/or receive a W, WP, or WF |
| |depending on their grade and time period in the semester at which they fail to meet the 66% attendance rule. Students representing the |
| |college with sufficient documentation from the Athletic Department, Choir, Band, and other auxiliary organizations will receive an excuse |
| |for “Official College Business.” |
| |Note: Students conducting “Official College Business” are required to attend all classes unless the Office of Academic Affairs and the |
| |Instructor of Record have been given prior notice by the activity director that the student will be absent. Under no circumstances will |
| |students be excused from class for practice. |
| |Late Arrival Policy |
| |It is important that students arrive to class on time. |
| |Because we cannot always plan for unforeseen circumstances, students will be allowed a grace period of 5 minutes only. |
| |Beyond 5 minutes up to 15 minutes late, students will be marked tardy. The accumulation of 3 tardies will be the equivalent of 1 absence. |
| |Students who are late beyond 15 minutes, for any reason, will be marked absent for the day. |
| | |
| |Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty and plagiarizing in college are very serious offenses. Each student is expected to do his/her |
| |own thinking on all quizzes, tests, class work, book reports, research papers, and homework assignments. If any student is found copying |
| |from other students, books, or internet sites; or found cheating during a quiz or test, he/she will be referred to the Student Counseling |
| |Center, have a conference with the instructor, and receive the grade of F for this course. Additional disciplinary action may also be |
| |warranted. |
| | |
| |Class Expectations: The College seeks to provide an environment where discussions and expressions of all views relevant to the subject are|
| |recognized and necessary to the educational process. Students do not have the right to interfere with the instructor’s right to teach or |
| |other students’ right to learn. A student demonstrating inappropriate behavior during class time will be asked to leave the class. The |
| |student’s behavior will be discussed with the instructor following the class or prior to the next class session. Students may be required |
| |to seek counseling prior to returning to class. Please note, being asked to leave the class counts as an unexcused absence. Cell phones |
| |and beepers are not needed in class. Leave them home, or they must be turned off during class time. They are distracting for other |
| |students who are here to learn as well as a distraction to the instructor. |
| |What you can expect from me: |
| |I will be punctual for every class |
| |I will give everybody a fair share of my attention |
| |I will prepare you for your tests |
| |I will assist you in reaching your highest goals of achievement |
