| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog). Individual departments/programs/ disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent. | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| Cheating on an assigned project will not be tolerated and will result in immediate dismissal and automatic failure of the course. Assistance from other students is encouraged during the learning stages of the course, but each student is responsible for completing his/her own course assignments. | |||||||||
| C. Other Policies: | |||||||||
| Safety
and Equipment Abuse: Repeated safety violations will result in
a reduction of final grade, at the instructor's discretion. Flagrant violations
which result in equipment damage or personal injury will result in automatic
failure of the course.
Counseling: Counseling is available during posted office hours or by appointment. |
