- This course begins August 23, 2021 and ends December 10, 2021.
- All course work is available via the Internet through NCTC’s Canvas Learning Management System.
- Information for this course will be communicated via Canvas.
- Your instructor will not respond to e-mail sent from your personal or work e-mail addresses. Please use Canvas mail or NCTC Lion Mail to communicate with your instructor.
- Emails will be answered within 24 hours Monday through noon on Friday unless it is a holiday. After noon on Friday through Sunday, email may be answered on Monday.
- It is highly encouraged that you log in at least three times a week to work on assignments.
- Students are responsible for keeping track of their own grades. Grades will be posted in Canvas. If you believe the grade posted is in error, please contact your instructor.
- The instructor reserves the right to change course assignments, grading policies, and assignment schedules at any time.
- Accounting is a subject that builds. Students who do not understand a chapter should discuss the situation with the instructor immediately after the chapter is covered.
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member. Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is November 1, 2021.
