ATTENDANCE POLICY

In lieu of classroom attendance, the following will constitute the course attendance policy:  Each student is expected to log in at least three times a week and complete weekly assignments to constitute regular attendance. Failure to log in for two successive weeks will be cause for concern and will be reported to the Fast Start IV Grant Coordinator.

 

The last day to drop is February 21, 2019.  In order to drop the course, you must schedule an appointment with Chester D. Brown, Fast Start Advisor/Coach at 940-668-7731 ext. 4912 or schedule an appointment by emailing Chester@ cbrown@nctc.edu.

This online course requires dedication and effort on your part. You must set aside time each week to do your assignments. You should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours each week on this course. It is very easy to fall behind and it is difficult to catch up on missed work!

Course Success Tip: Stay current in your work, log in often, and check announcements for any special notices.

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” February 21, 2019.
