• Your grade for this course will be A, B, or F.  The course grade will be determined based on the grades from all module competency post-tests and your competency final project.  You must score an 80 or higher on all Module Competency Post Tests and an 80 or higher on the Competency Project.  You cannot make less than a B in this course.
• 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.
• 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.
• Accounting is a subject that builds.  Students who do not understand Chapters 1, 2, and 3 will have difficulty when the class moves to the rest of the chapters.  Students who do not understand a chapter should discuss the situation with the instructor immediately after the chapter is covered.
• The instructor reserves the right to change course assignments, grading policies, and assignment schedules at any time.

This is an online class. Your attendance is documented by the completion of assignments. It is important that you log in regularly and stay on task for this course.  If you feel you cannot complete the course, it is your responsibility to drop.  If you do not complete the work successfully and fail to drop this course, you will receive an F.

The last day to drop with a W is April 25, 2019.  If you feel you need to drop schedule an appointment with Chester Brown, Fast Start IV Success Coach, to discuss your concerns.  If you feel you need to drop schedule an appointment with Chester Brown, Fast Start IV Success Coach, to discuss your concerns.  Chester can be reached at 940-668-7731ext. 4912 or email cbrown@ntctc.edu.  After meeting with Chester if you feel you still need to drop, please complete the necessary paperwork with the registrars’ office.

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered.  All absences are 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.
