Each absence will result in the
loss of 100 points on your final grade. Please see me about making up course
material. You will not be able to earn a grade of ‘A’ if you miss more than one class. Due to
unavailability of gym space, it is impossible to make up most of our classes.
One Absence- Maximum Grade -A
Two Absences-Maximum Grade-B
Three Absences-Maximum Grade-C
I will withdraw you if you miss more than 3 classes as you cannot pass.
Withdrawal:
It is primarily the student’s responsibility to withdraw from a course.
Instructors are allowed to withdraw students but students must not rely on
their instructor to withdraw them if they wish to withdraw.
Incomplete: An
incomplete (I) will be granted to a student in rare circumstances. Generally,
to receive a grade of I, a student must have completed all examinations and
assignments to date, be passing, and have personal circumstances that prevent
course completion that occur after the deadline to withdraw with a grade of W.
Scholastic Dishonesty: Acts prohibited by the College for which
discipline may be administered include scholastic dishonesty. Prohibited acts
include those related to academic integrity. Academic work submitted by
students shall be the result of their own thought, research or self expression.
For purposes of these regulations, academic work is defined as, but not limited
to exams and quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper: projects either
individual or group: papers: classroom presentations: and homework. When
students borrow ideas, wording, or organization from another source they shall
reference that information in an appropriate manner. (Student
Handbook, http://www.austincc.edu/handbook ).
Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the
violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an F in the
course and/or expulsion from this institution.
Academic Freedom: Each
student is strongly encouraged to participate in class. In any classroom
situation that includes discussion and critical thinking, there are bound to be
many differing viewpoints. These differences enhance the learning experience
and create an atmosphere where students and instructors alike will be
encouraged to think and learn. On sensitive and volatile topics, students may
sometimes disagree not only with each other but also with the instructor. It is
expected that faculty and students will respect the views of others when
expressed in classroom discussions. Students may achieve their course goals by
more than one method.
Student Discipline: By applying to and registering at
OSD (Office of Students with
Disabilities) Statement: The Office
for Students with Disabilities assists students with documented disabilities to
access reasonable accommodations. To request ACC accommodations, students must
submit appropriate diagnostic documentation to the OSD supervisor at their
primary campus. Students attending
multiple campuses must meet with the supervisor at each campus where
accommodations are needed. Students are urged to do this at least three weeks
before the start of each term. (Student Handbook, http://www.austincc.edu/handbook).
Adding or dropping a course (schedule changes): Students may add or drop a course before open registration ends or during the session’s official schedule change (add/drops) period. See the course schedule for information on add/drops procedures, deadlines, and tuition refunds.
Withdrawing from a course: Students may
withdraw from one or more courses prior to the withdrawal deadline by
submitting a request form to Admissions and Records. Withdrawal
deadlines are published in the academic calendar. Withdrawal courses appear on the student’s record with a
grade of W. Until a student is officially withdrawn, the student remains
on the class roll and may receive a grade of F for the course.
Students are responsible for understanding the impact withdrawing from a course may have on their financial aid, veterans’ benefits, international student status, and academic standing. Students are urged to consult with their instructor or an advisor before making schedule changes.
Per state law, students enrolling for the first time in fall 2007 or later at any Texas college or university may not withdraw (receive a W) from more than six courses during their undergraduate college career. Some exemptions for good cause could allow a student to withdraw from a course without having it count toward this limit. Students are encouraged to carefully select courses; contact an advisor or counselor for assistance.
