hi i'm trish Holsten secondary
partnership director at Wilson Community
College. We're on our third video of the
series and in this particular video
we're going to be focusing on the
college policies. Let's begin with the
attendance policy, followed by the
academic dishonesty policy. The
attendance policy for the college is
that students cannot miss more than 15%
of class or they will be dropped.
Attendance is taken both in face-to-face
classes and on and in online classes.
Online participation is based on
participation as the instructor outlines
what participation is on the course
syllabus and/or in Moodle. For example,
attendance in an online class may
include completing assignments or simply
completing and watching lessons or
participating by perhaps posting to a
forum-- either way, if you do not do what
is considered participation for that
week, you are considered absent,
and after a certain number of absences,
you'll be dropped from the course. Please
remember that your CCP course should be
considered a priority and that missing
class always counts as an absence. We do
not have excused absences at the college
so any reason for missing class will go
down as an absence and as long as you've
not missed more than 15% of class. That
shouldn't be a problem as with any kind
of course though you should always talk
to the instructor or make the instructor
aware if you cannot attend class or if
you have been hospitalized or have a
sickness or anything that impedes with
your ability to do work or participate
in class, he instructor should be a made
aware of that-- do not assume that you
would be able to make up assignment
simply because you miss class. A second
college policy is the academic
dishonesty policy where students are
expected, of course, to perform honestly
and they are subject to disciplinary
action for violating this policy if
you're not sure what academic dishonesty
is please make sure that you go to our
online catalog and look up not just the
dishonesty policy, but all the college
policies and procedures as students will
have to adhere to any of these policies
that are posted in our college catalog
To give you some examples of academic
honesty obviously cheating lying
plagiarism are all forms of academic
misconduct you shouldn't copy anybody
else's work, any projects or papers, you
do should be your own. You should not
give or receive help from anybody else,
you should not copy anybody's work, exam,
test--you should not use your cell phones
to complete work unless it is unless it
is agreed upon by the instructor-- that is
especially true in any kind of testing
situation unless the instructor has
outlined that it is okay to use
electronic devices-- those should never be
used for any situation as I mentioned
before it's extremely important to look
at our catalog to look at any of the
college policies. And again, remember, my
contact information phone number and
email address are certainly all forms
and ways that you can contact me if you
need any help. Please remember to watch
the rest of the videos as there are a
few more in this series.
