Course and Campus Policies

Course Policies <replace with your own>

- Instructor Response Time - How long does it take you to answer emails? How long does it take you to return graded assignments?
- Course Participation & Attendance - Attendance is just as important in an online class as it is in a classroom class, so attendance will be mandatory in this course just as it is if you were to take a class  in-person. Student attendance in online courses is defined as active participation in the course. Online courses have mechanisms for student participation, which is documented by any or all of the following methods:
  - Completion of tests.
  - Submission/completion of assignments (through assignment drop box, discussion board or other means as described in the course).
  - Communication with the instructor as described in the course.
  - Logging on to and accessing assigned course materials a minimum of twice per week.
  - Failure to do the above could result in a drop in a letter grade at the end of the semester.
- Grading Policy - The grading policy is detailed on the course syllabus

Note that the NCTC Student Handbook outlines the consequences of academic dishonesty as follows:

"When cheating, collusion, or plagiarism has occurred beyond any reasonable doubt, the instructor may give the student or students involved an “F” on a particular assignment or in the course.  The instructor shall make a written report of the incident and of the planned action to his Department Chair. The Department Chair shall report the incident and action to appropriate instructional dean who shall review the case, notify the student and, if necessary, take further action. This may involve either probation or suspension of the student or students in question. If such disciplinary action is deemed necessary, the Vice-President of Student Services shall be notified, and the action shall be taken through that office."
