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 November 21, 2018 with a W. If you feel you need to drop, schedule an appointment with or call Chester Brown Jr., Fast Start IV Success Coach, to discuss your concerns. Chester can be reached at 940-668-7731 ext.4912 or email cbrown@nctc.edu. After meeting with Chester, if you feel you still need to drop, please complete the necessary paperwork with the registrars’ office.
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.
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is April 25, 2019.
