ATTENDANCE POLICY
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's 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. Students 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. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is July 16, 2020.
DISABILITY SERVICES (Office for Students with Disabilities)
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 provide resource information, disability‐related information, and adaptive technology for students who qualify.
If you feel you have needs for services that the institution provides, please reach out to either Wayne Smith (940) 498‐6207 or Yvonne Sandman (940) 668‐4321. Alternative students may stop by Room 170 in Corinth or Room 110 in Gainesville.

Early Alert and NCTC Cares
The NCTC Early Alert program has been established to assist students who are at risk of failing or withdrawing from a course. Your instructor may refer you to this program if you are missing assignments, failing tests, excessively absent, or have personal circumstances impacting your academic performance. If submitted as an Early Alert you will be notified via your NCTC e-mail address and then contacted by a Counseling and Testing advisor or counselor to discuss possible strategies for completing your course successfully.
The NCTC CARES (Campus Assessment Response Evaluation Services) Team addresses behavior which may be disruptive, harmful or pose a threat to to the health and safety of the NCTC community-such
as stalking, harassment, physical or emotional abuse, violent or threatening behavior, or self-harm. As a student, you have the ability to report concerning behavior which could impact your own safety or the safety
|
of another NCTC student. Just click the NCTC CARES Team logo posted on MyNCTC, or send an e-mail
to CARESTeam@nctc.edu. As always, if you feel there is an immediate threat to your own safety or welfare (or to another student), please call 911 immediately.

NOTICE: Some grades for this course may post in Canvas. Those grades will be correct only relative to the assignments that are graded by the instructor. The course average and other numeric computations that show in Canvas may or may not be correct. As college students, you should use the above-provided format to follow your grade progress. Your final grade is obviously a sum of the ratios of the four component grades. The very best approach is to accumulate as many points as you can as the semester goes along. If you miss an opportunity to earn points for any reason then, those points are lost. Remember to participate in posted assignments during the time frame allowed.
NOTICE: Some assignments required participation on more than one date. Being absent on either date will cause you to NOT get points for the related assignment or activity. Attendance is mandatory. This course operates much like a business with you as the employee who is expected to show up for all work assignments.
