Attendance:

Regular attendance is required.  Students with excessive absences will be dropped from the course.  If you are absent more than two (2) consecutive class sessions, please contact the instructor.  All students are expected to attend every class session.  Failure to do so may indicate a lack of serious commitment and purpose.  A student may be dropped from the course for excessive absence (including tardiness), regardless of cause, if the number of absences or tardiness is having an adverse effect upon your success in the course.   An inordinate number of absences will lower the final grade one grade point.  If you are not in class, you cannot participate in the relevant class discussion.  

REMEMBER - THIS IS A HYBRID COURSE.

Examinations:  
Cheating:

Cheating violates the standards of student conduct established by board policy 6080.  Students found cheating will be removed from the class setting and dropped from the course with an "F" grade.    Cheating applies to plagarism, taking on line quizzes or examinations in tandem, or any other form of working together.   This is a single effort course, not a tandem or group effort as it applies to examinations.

To All online instructors, 

A reminder….. 

Open Campus locks out student access to online courses after term completion primarily for two reasons: 

  1. Protection of instructor content and exam information.  Instructors will continue to have access to their courses for one week after term completion to complete/submit final grades;
  2. Limited “seat” capacity in WebCT per license agreement – especially critical for “overlapping” terms such as spring-summer.

For these reasons, students should not be directed back to the course to get final grade information.  They should be instructed to go to WebAdvisor.

 

English and Spanish versions of the RCCD Discrimination/Sexual Harassment Complaint Procedure are now available on the District's website at www.rcc.edu/discrimination; the pdfs have active links to the full Board policy.

 

Printed copies of the procedure are being posted in all classrooms and offices at RCCD campuses and education centers, and copies will be available in Admission & Records, Student Services, Counseling, the Digital Library and campus libraries, and other locations.
