HCC Policy Statements:

ADA: Students with Disabilities:Any student with a documented disability, (i.e. physical, learning, psychiatric, visual,hearing, etc) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact thedisability services office at the respective college at the beginning of each semester.Faculty are authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the disabilityservices office. The counselor for Southeast College can be reached at 713 718-7218.

Academic Honesty:

Academic irregularities cannot be tolerated. Attempts to compromise the integrity of thiscourse will result in a grade of zero for the assignment or dismissal from the class.Students must not collaborate on the exams in any way (including the use of materialsfrom former students) and must not copy material from any source to use as their essayanswers or discussion contributions. See the HCCS Student Handbook for details.Cheating is not that hard to define and as college students, you should have a firm ideaabout what cheating is. Just to be clear, here are a few simple definitions:- Cheating is: Copying from another student's exam.- Cheating is: During a exam, using materials not authorized by the person givingthe exam.- Cheating is: Collaborating with another student during a exam without properauthority.- Cheating is: Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or solicitingin whole or part the contents of an exam or paper.- Cheating is: Bribing another person to obtain a copy of an exam.- Cheating is: Plagiarism which means using someone's work or someone's ideasand representing them to be your own. That "someone" may be another student, afriend, a relative, a book author, an author of material on a web site, etc. Do nottake material from anywhere without giving proper credit or reference. In otherwords, do not copy from an Internet source and paste it into your essay answerspace.- Cheating is: Collusion, which means the unauthorized collaboration with anotherperson in preparing written work offered for credit when you represent that workto be your own.

In this class, the standard penalty for academic dishonesty is a grade of zero on theassignment. The penalty for gross plagiarism and cheating on exams is failure in thecourse. Depending on severity and frequency, academic dishonesty can lead to arecommendation for probation or dismissal from the College System.

Student Attendance:

You are expected to attend all lecture classes regularly. You are also responsible formaterials covered during your absences. Instructors may be willing to consult with youfor make-up assignments, but it is your responsibility to contact the instructor. Classattendance is checked daily. Although it is your responsibility to drop a course fornonattendance, the instructor has the authority to drop you for excessive absences. Youmay be dropped from a course after accumulating absences in excess of 12.5 percent of the total hours of instruction (lecture and lab). For example: For a three credit-hourlecture class meeting three hours per week (48 hours of instruction), you can be dropped after six hours of absence. Three tardies equals one absence.

NOTICE: Students who take a course more than twice face significant tuition/feeincreases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please askyour instructor / counselor about opportunities for tutoring/other assistance priorto considering course withdrawal or if you are not receiving passing grades.The Texas State Legislature has begun to impose penalties on students who drop coursesexcessively. In 2007, the Legislature passed a law limiting students to no more than 6total course withdrawals throughout their academic career in obtaining a baccalaureatedegree. To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC hasinstituted an Early Alert process by which your instructor will “alert” you and HCCstudent services of the chance you might fail a class because of excessive absences and/orpoor academic performances. You should visit with your instructor, a counselor, or HCConline Student Services to learn about your options.Students MUST visit with a faculty advisor, a counselor, or online student services priorto withdrawal from class. If a withdrawal is to be given, this must be done prior to April14, 2011,at 4:30pm. After that date and time, students will no longer be allowed to dropand will receive the grade that they earned. Any remaining assignments not submittedwill receive a zero; thus, students will be subject to receiving an F for the class. Facultywill NO longer be allowed to give Ws on the final grade sheet; any faculty who wishes towithdraw a student will be required to process the drop BEFORE April 14, 2011 at4:30pm.

Withdrawal Deadline:It is your responsibility to withdraw officially from a class and prevent an “F” fromappearing on your transcript. When considering withdrawal from a course, rememberthat:• No grade is given and your transcript reflects no record of the course if you withdrawbefore the Official Date of Record.• A “W” (indicating withdrawal) appears on your transcript if you drop a course after theOfficial Date of Record and before the final deadline.

International Students:Receiving a W in a course may affect the status of your student Visa. Once a W is givenfor the course, it will not be changed to an F because of the visa consideration. SinceJanuary 1, 2003, International Students are restricted in the number of distance educationcourses that they may take during each semester. ONLY ONE online/distance educationclass may be counted towards the enrollment requirement for International Students persemester. Please contact the International Student Office at 713-718-8520 if you haveany questions about your visa status and other transfer issues.

Student Course Reinstatement Policy:Students have a responsibility to arrange payment for their classes when they register,either through cash, credit card, financial aid, or the installment plan. Faculty membershave a responsibility to check their class rolls regularly, especially during the early weeksof a term, and reconcile the official class roll to ensure that no one is attending classwhose name does not appear on the rolls. Students who are dropped from their coursesfor non-payment of tuition and fees, who request reinstatement after the official date ofrecord (OE date), can be reinstated by making payment in full and paying an additional$75 per course reinstatement fee. A student requesting reinstatement should present theregistrar with a completed Enrollment Authorization Form with the signature of theinstructor, the department chair, or the dean, who should verify that the student has beenregularly attending class. Students who are reinstated are responsible for all coursepolicies and procedures, including attendance requirements. A dean may waive thereinstatement fee upon determination that the student was dropped because of a collegeerror. The dean should note the nature of the error in a memo to the registrar with theappropriate documentation.

Support Services:Library: EECHS and HCC libraries are available to you.

Disability Policy:"Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision,hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonableaccommodations must contact the Disability Services Office at the respective college atthe beginning of each semester.
