CANVAS TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Should you experience difficulties with CANVAS, please submit a ticket to tech support at http://nctcecampus.zendesk.com.  Each student has a profile in Canvas which displays all activity.  There is a visible log being kept with when you log in and what you are doing.  It is very important that you work for a reliable computer to avoid technical issues with assessments.

Class Agreement Assignment

You are required to complete a class agreement assignment.  Completing the quiz ensures that you have read the syllabus and fully understand everything that is required of you.  Upon completing the quiz, you will receive 5 bonus points.  However, if you send an email asking a question that is answered in your syllabus you will lose your 5 bonus points.  Before sending an email asking a question, please read your syllabus. This will be the only bonus assignment for the semester!!

Class Calendar

It is important that you log in at least 3-4 days a week to be successful in this class. Logging in only once a week may result in you missing important announcements or changes. Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s would be suggested days, however, I suggest you check your email daily.

NOTE:

All folders will be turned on at 8:00 a.m. on Monday and turned off at 11:00 p.m. on Sunday with the exception of Module 5 Week 5 folder. Module 5 Week 5 folder will be available from Monday, August 12^th  @ 8:00AM until Thursday, August 15^th @ 11:00pm.

PROGRAM PURPOSE STATEMENT

NCTC seeks to implement its goal of providing quality freshman and sophomore level courses in arts and sciences that parallel the lower division offerings of four-year colleges and universities by offering a coherent sequence of courses with appropriate breadth and depth to prepare student for transfer to a university.

DEPARTMENTAL PURPOSE STATEMENT

The Law Enforcement department prepares students for careers in every aspect of criminal justice, (police, courts and corrections), and for advanced degrees.

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 judgment 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.

ATTENDANCE FOR THIS CLASS WILL BE DEMONSTRATED BY YOUR COMPLETION OF ASSIGNMENTS.

Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is July 31^st 2019.

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) provides support services for students with disabilities, students enrolled in technical areas of study, and students who are classified as special populations (i.e. single parents).

Support services for students with disabilities might include appropriate and reasonable accommodations, or they may be in the form of personal counseling, academic counseling, career counseling, etc.  Furthermore, OSD Counselors work with students to encourage self-advocacy and promote empowerment. The Counselors also provides resource information, disability-related information, and adaptive technology for students who qualify.
