COURSE POLICIES
Academic Integrity Policy: Scholastic dishonesty shall include, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, academic falsification, intellectual property dishonesty, academic dishonesty facilitation and collusion. Faculty members may document and bring charges against a student who is engaged in or is suspected to be engaged in academic dishonesty. See Student Handbook, “Student Rights & Responsibilities: Student Conduct ([FLB(LOCAL)]”.
Consequences for academic dishonesty may include:
1) Receiving a grade of zero.
2) Dismissal from program.
Attendance Policy: Students are REQUIRED to attend school on the first day of class. Only extreme circumstances with prior notification will be considered.
Students are expected to attend all scheduled theory and laboratory classes. Because of the large volume of material covered each day, and because laboratory experiences validate learning objectives, it is extremely important that absences and tardiness be kept to a minimum. Good attendance helps ensure success in the NCTC Cosmetology program.
Students are responsible for all missed announcements and course content. Student’s regular and punctual attendance is expected at NCTC for the purpose of furthering their education and attendance grades will be applied to each course enrolled in. Students must meet 80% of their required hours.
Students should notify their instructor by 7:30am if they will be late or absent that day. A student who does not call in by 7:30am, either to announce their lateness, or to excuse themselves from school for that day, will have a “write up” put in their folders. In addition, a student who calls in late, but then does not come in when they stated they would, or does not come in at all, will also be written up. After five writeups, the student may receive a one-day suspension. One more write up (for any reason) and the student may be DROPPED from the program.
Withdrawal Policy
NCTC drops students who have not attended class before the “Official Date of Record” when rolls are certified. Students in face-to-face, hybrid, synchronous, and online must attend class in order to be counted for roll certification. Students in face-to-face classes must attend class; completing assignments outside of class does not count toward attendance.
Before dropping the course:
- Contact your instructor to let them know
- Verify the drop date
A student may withdraw from a course on or after the official date of record. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate and complete a Withdrawal Request Form.
Last day to withdraw from the course with a “W” is: October 31st
