THE OFFICE FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) provides accommodations for students with disabilities. OSD counselors and advisors also provide strategies for academic success; individual, career, and academic counseling services as well as referrals to campus and community services and assistance with admission and registration.

It is not necessary that a student with a disability disclose his/her disability to college officials if he/she is not requesting any accommodations.

OSD is federally funded through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Federal Grant.

NCTC is committed to making its degree and certificate programs accessible to all qualified persons in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA Amendments Act, and The Rehabilitation Act (1973), Section 504.

Testing may be administered in a variety of ways and the mode of testing may change during the semester as deemed appropriate by the instructor.  When possible, in-person proctored testing is preferred.  For in-person classes testing will occur during the designated class times.  For online classes in-person proctored testing may be required.  On site testing may be done in an NCTC testing center, at test locations provided by the math division, or at another authorized testing site.  If online testing is used students may be required to use a webcam while testing.  For online testing students will be required to scan and upload supporting documents.  Students may be asked to demonstrate knowledge/skills in a one-on-one conference if deemed necessary by the instructor. 

This schedule is tentative and will most likely change as the semester progresses.  It is provided so that you have a general idea of the order and speed with which we will be covering the material.

COVID-19 Specific Syllabi Statements Spring 2022 Syllabi statement regarding potential Conversion of Onsite Classes to Online/Remote Format: North Central Texas College students should be aware that in the event of a college closure due to COVID-19 or other health-related crisis, onsite classes will be converted to an online/remote format. Students should plan ahead to ensure they have access to the computer equipment (either PC, MAC, or tablet), webcam, and internet connectivity to continue their classes in an online/remote format. Please read all your official North Central Texas College student emails as the transition from onsite to online/remote might require a reorganization in your personal situation. Students will be granted a 72-hour transition and grace period. Online classes will continue as scheduled without disruption. You are encouraged to wear a mask and stay safe. Contact your instructor for further information and direction as the situation arises. These policies and procedures were updated on July 27, 2021, and are subject to change as conditions change. Syllabi Statement Regarding Face Coverings: Per the North Central Texas College guidance on face coverings on campus, in the instructional setting, faculty, and students are not required to wear face coverings, such as masks or face shields. In May, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott released an Executive Order prohibiting Government entities from mandating the use of masks. As a political subdivision of the State of Texas, NCTC will follow the Governor’s Executive Order for Government entities. Effective immediately, NCTC is no longer mandating masks while on campus. This order does not mean that you cannot choose to wear a mask; rather, it is no longer allowed to be mandated. These policies and procedures were updated on May 19, 2021, and are subject to change. Return to Standard Attendance Protocol for Face-to-Face Meetings: In spring 2020, we faced an unprecedented situation in which all of us had to be flexible and make prudent decisions in the best interest of our families, our campus, and our community. In light of this, North Central Texas College is temporarily establishing the requirement that faculty keep records of student attendance for face-to-face course meetings as well as a documented seating chart. In addition, students who are sick or need to quarantine should not attend classes. Students will not be required to provide formal documentation from a health care provider and will not be penalized for COVID[1]19 related absences when proper notification to campus health officials is made in accordance with the guidelines stated below. Faculty will: • Notify students about important course information and delivery changes through Canvas and campus email. Students should: • Provide notification to campus officials if they have tested positive for COVID-19 or have to quarantine so we can confirm reported absence with instructors, monitor, and assist the campus community. • Notify instructors in advance of the absence. • Connect with that class through Webex if the class session is being transmitted in a hybrid fashion. • Keep up with and/or make up missed classwork or assignments. • Submit assignments digitally through Canvas or other means as announced by your instructor. • Work with their instructors to reschedule exams, labs, and other critical academic activities described in the course syllabus. • Check Canvas and campus email daily to receive important announcements pertaining to the course. During the spring 2022 semester, faculty with face-to-face meetings will establish assigned seating/workstations to facilitate roll-taking and contact tracing if necessary. Additionally, we ask all College community members to be attentive to their health and safeguard others by following the CDC’s guideline to “stay home when you are sick.” You should stay home if you have symptoms. More information on what to do if you are sick is available at the CDC’s website. Additional NCTC information is available at http://www.nctc.edu/coronavirus/index.html
