ii

This Athletic Handbook was written to familiarize student athletesand their parents with the policies and procedures in the AthleticDepartment. This handbook is written within the guidelines of thepolicies and procedures of Calhoun Community College on pageeight of the College Catalog and in no way supersedes any policy ofthe College.

Education is an investment for tomorrow as well as a requirementof our democratic way of life. Education will be kept in its properperspective as our foremost goal.

This handbook is updated annually and contains material that iscurrent and correct. All questions or concerns not answered by thishandbook should be directed to the Athletic Director and/or Deanof Student Affairs.

Each coursesyllabus will clearly state the number of absences consideredas the acceptable maximum for the class as well as how latearrivals and early departures will be handled. Each coursesyllabus will also state policies regarding make-up work, ifallowed. The policies stated in the course syllabus for a stu-dent’s specific class will be the policies for which the studentwill be held accountable. Communication with the instructorconcerning absences is essential. If a student has excessiveabsences, he/she must consult with the instructor.Instructors will not withdraw students for any reason. Failureto officially withdraw from the course could result in a gradeof F and adversely impact financial aid. Withdrawing from acourse is the responsibility of the student. Therefore, a gradeof F will not be changed without written approval from theVice President of Instruction and Student Services. Militarypersonnel who are involuntarily called to active duty forunscheduled and/or emergency situations and those individu-als called for jury duty will be excused with official documen-tation. College related events (athletic competition) which thestudent is required to attend by the club sponsor and whichhave been approved by the appropriate Dean, will also beexcused.

• Student making phone call to the instructor’s Calhounoffice or an in-person visit to the instructor; and/or

• Student submission (online or in-person) of completed assess-ments, assignments, essays, or other course related work.
