Attendance Policy
Prompt and regular class attendance is considered necessary for satisfactory work. It is the responsibility of the instructor to keep an accurate and comprehensive record of attendance.
Cisco Junior College recognized that absence from class may occur due to illness, death or illness in the immediate family, observance of a religious holiday, or participation in a College-sponsored activity. (Absences due to participation in a college-sponsored activity must be authorized by the Dean of Instruction.)
When absences occur due to the above, the student is allowed to make up work missed; the instructor may require the work to be made up within two weeks.
• If the instructor deems the student failing due to excessive absences and/or failure to make up work due to absences, the student WILL be dropped from class after 9 absences in this course.
The student will receive a grade of "W" for the course if withdrawn before the last day to drop with a "W" and an "F" if withdrawn after the last day to drop with a "W".
Three tardies may constitute an absence. Absences immediately before or after a holiday may be counted as double absences.
Major Units of Study:
• Structure of the internet, web site design, web site implementation, & web site maintenance.
Academic Integrity:
It is the intent of Cisco Junior College to foster a spirit of complete honesty & a high standard of integrity. The attempt of students to present as their own any work they have not honestly performed is regarded by the faculty & administration as a serious offense & renders the offender liable to serious consequences, possibly suspension. All student conduct will support academic honesty. Any student who is cheating on an exam or uses thoughts or words or works of others without proper citation will receive an F or zero for that work & may fail the course. The instructional goal is that each student completes his or her own work in order to master the skills needed to compete in the job market.
Student Conduct
Students are expected to take responsibility in helping to maintain a classroom environment that is conductive to learning. In order to assure that all students have the opportunity to gain from the time spent in class, students are prohibited from making offensive remarks, reading material not related to the class, sleeping, having cell phone conversations, beepers (not on vibrate) or engaging in any kind of distracting behavior. Inappropriate behavior in the classroom shall result, at a minimum, in a request to leave class. A more detailed list of inappropriate behaviors is found in the current student hand book.
Students with Special Needs
Students who qualify for specific accommodations under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) should notify their instructor the first week of class. It is the student's responsibility to provide the necessary documentation to the Special Populations Coordinator.
