GRADING RATIONALE	

Performance:
Because there will be activities for which you will be graded, work turned in late will automatically be docked 50%.   After 1 class periods, late work will NOT BE ACCEPTED.  

Test retake and make-up procedures:	
If you are unable to take a normally scheduled test because of sickness, or OTHER SERIOUS REASON, and the instructor is advised, the test may be made up within one class period.. Arrangements must be made to make the test up.  Quizzes may not be made up.
Test scores of less than passing may be retaken, if you make arrangements with your instructor. Be prepared to show your instructor that you have done additional study to qualify for a retake. Note that the highest score that can be recorded on a retaken test is 70%.  
Missed tests must be made up by the class immediately after the normal test time. If another time is absolutely necessary make arrangements with your instructor.  Retakes will be scheduled with the instructor after sufficient effort has been shown.

Attendance Requirement

All students are expected to be present for their scheduled classes.  Regular attendance and participation are required.  

Administrative Withdrawal from a Course

It is the policy of the College that a student will be administratively withdrawn from a course due to lack of attendance in seated classes or nonparticipation in online classes (Policy)

If the student is absent 20% of the class time then they will be withdrawn by administrative procedure.

All absences are documented by the instructor. A tardy of 15 minutes will result in 1 hour of  absence time.

Students should be aware that administrative withdrawal for lack of attendance or nonparticipation may reduce the amount of financial aid they receive, delay their graduation or necessitate repayment of aid already received and does not relieve their obligation to pay all tuition and fees due to the College.

Academic and Course Grade Appeal

The College has established an equitable and orderly process to resolve academic dissatisfaction at the College.  This may include final grades, instructional procedures, attendance, instructional quality and situations related to academic issues.

For more information concerning the Academic and Course Grade Appeal procedure, please refer to the Student Handbook.

Grievance Procedure for Non-Academic Issues

Students having complaints, other than grade appeals or academic dissatisfaction, which cannot readily be resolved through normal channels, may bring their complaints to the Dean of Student Development.  If the Dean of Student Development cannot satisfactorily resolve the complaint, the student may request the matter be referred to the College Student Grievance Committee.  The chairperson will convene the committee.  The committee will hear the complaint and make a recommendation for resolution to the College president.  The decision of the College president shall be final.  

Academic Dishonesty

Academic integrity represents one of the most essential elements of the teaching and learning process. All members of the OTC community are expected to fulfill their academic obligations through honest and independent effort. By submitting coursework to your instructor as an OTC student, you pledge that the work is truly your own. 

Violations of academic integrity—which include but are not limited to cheating, collusion, plagiarism, and other forms of academic misconduct—damage your personal character and thwart your instructors’ ability to promote your learning. As an OTC student, you are responsible for knowing and following the College’s policies and procedures regarding academic integrity. These guidelines and more information related to academic integrity are available in the Student Handbook, on the OTC Academic Integrity Web page, and in College Policy 5.15. 

The College recognizes that academic integrity is complex and can be confusing. Therefore, you are obligated to review these information sources carefully and to seek needed clarification from your instructor concerning questions of collaborative work, citation of sources, or other issues related to academic integrity.

Dropping a Class

It is your responsibility to understand the College’s procedure for dropping a class.  If you stop attending this class but do not follow proper procedure for dropping the class, you will receive a failing grade.  To drop a class, complete the necessary form in Student Services or via the Access OTC tab in MyOTC.

Failure to properly withdraw from classes can have a detrimental effect on your grade point average and your future educational goals.

	See the College website or contact Student Services for drop deadlines.
	Note:  after the second week of classes, there is no refund for dropping a class!!!

Computer Use Expectations for Seated Courses

In today’s computer based society, it is imperative that students develop computer based skills.  Therefore, Ozarks Technical Community College students will be expected to use technology to assist them in the learning process. At a minimum, students will be expected to log on to the online learning platform where the course syllabus and faculty information are located. 

In a “seated” course, the time spent in class should be the primary venue used to deliver the content of the course as stated in the course abstract.  The manner in which that content is delivered in the classroom is left to the discretion of the instructor.

In a “seated” course, the administering of course assessments (other than “traditional” assessments including, but not limited to, research papers, essays, mathematical problem sets, etc.) should be conducted primarily during the regularly-scheduled class periods.  The manner in which those assessments are administered is left to the discretion of the instructor.  The use of assessments (administered online) outside the regularly-scheduled class periods are acceptable provided the following criteria are met:
•	the number of assessments are conducted on a limited basis;
•	the percentage of the course grade comprised by the online assessments is kept to a minimum.
Behavior Expectations:
Any successful learning experience requires mutual respect on behalf of the student and the instructor. The instructor, as well as the fellow students, should not be subjected to any student's behavior that is in any way disruptive, rude, or challenging to the instructor's authority in the classroom. A student should not feel intimidated or demeaned by his/her instructor and students must remember that the instructor has primary responsibility for control over classroom behavior and maintenance of academic integrity. The instructor can order the temporary removal or exclusion from the classroom of any student engaged in disruptive conduct or conduct violating the general rules and regulations of the institution.
Disruptive behavior includes, but is not limited to the following: receiving beeper or cell phone calls during class, leaving class early or coming to class habitually late, eating or drinking in class, disruptive talking, reading or viewing material (including the internet) not associated with the class, sleeping, bulling other students, and engaging in other activities that detract from the classroom learning experience.
