HCC Policy Statement: ADA
“Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing,
etc) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the appropriate HCC
disability Support Service (DSS) Counselor at the beginning of each semester. Faculty is
authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services
Office. Students who are requesting special testing accommodations must first contact the
appropriate (most convenient) DSS office for assistance:
Disability Support Services Offices:
System:
713-718-516 5
Central:
713-718-6164 also for deaf and hard of hearing services and students outside of
the HCC District service areas.
Northwest:

Northeast:
713-718-8420
Southeast:
713-718-7218
Southwest:
713-718-7909
“After student accommodation letters have been approved by the DSS office and submitted to
DE Counseling for processing, student’s will receive an email Confirmation
informing them of the instructional Support Specialist assigned to their professor.
HCC Policy Statement: Academic Integrity
“Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, unethical behavior on an
exam, plagiarism, and collusion or any act that the instructor deems inappropriate
while taking an exam.
” Cheating on an exam includes, but is not limited to:
__Copying from another student’s test paper.
Page 4
__Using, during an exam, materials not authorized by the person giving the test.
__Collaborating with another student during an exam without authorization
__Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole
or in part, the contents of an un administered exam.
__Substituting for another student, or permitting another student to substitute for
one’s self, to take an exam.
__Bribing another person to obtain an exam that will be administered.
Plagiarism means the use of another person’s work without acknowledging, with specific
reference to name, date, page and other source identification, in written work that you submit for
credit. ‘Collusion’ means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing work
offered for credit.” (HCC Core Sociology Curriculum).
HCC Policy Statement: Class Attendance
The following statements appear in the college catalog regarding class attendance: “Students
are expected to attend classes regularly.” Students are responsible for material covered during
their absences, and it is the student’s responsibility to follow up and obtain information that was
missed during their absence. Class attendance is checked daily by the instructors. Although it is
the responsibility of the student to drop a course for non--attendance, the instructor has the
authority to drop a student for excessive absences. A student may be dropped from a course
for absenteeism after the student has accumulated absences in excess of 12.5 percent of the hours
of instruction (including lecture and laboratory time). For example: For a three credit- hour
lecture class meeting three hours per week (48 hours of instruction), a student may be dropped
after six hours per week (96 hours of instruction), a student may be dropped after 12 hours of
absences. Certain departments or programs may be governed by accrediting or certification
standards that require more stringent attendance policies. NOTE: IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT TO WITHDRAW OFFICIALLY FROM A
COURSE. Administrative drops are at the discretion of the instructor. Failure of a student to
withdraw officially could result in the student receiving a grade of “F” in the course. For the
deadline for course withdrawal, check the current course Schedule of Course.”
HCC Policy Statement: Course Withdrawal
To help student avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class. HCC has instituted an Early Alert
process by which your professor may “alert” you and HCCS counselors that you might fail a
class because of excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. Contact your professor
regarding your academic performance or a counselor to learn about what, if any, HCC
intervention might be available to assist you- online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job
placement, etc.- to stay in class and improve your academic performance.
In order to withdraw from a class, you MUST contact your professor and this must be
done prior to the withdrawal deadline to receive a “W” on your transcript. If you do not
withdraw before the deadline, you will receive the grade that you have earned by the end of the
semester. Zeros averaged in for required assignments/tests not submitted will lower your
semester average significantly, most likely resulting in a failing grade (F). If you do not feel
comfortable contacting your professor to withdraw, you may contact a counselor. However,
please do not contact both a counselor and your professor to request withdrawal; either one is
sufficient.
Page 5
Error Reference source not found. Classes of other duration (mini-term, flex-entry, 8
weeks, etc.) may have different final withdrawal deadlines. Please visit the online registration
calendars or contact the HCC Registrar’s Office to determine class withdrawal deadlines.
Remember to allow a 24 hour response time when communicating via email and/or
telephone with a professor and/or counselor. Do not submit a request to discuss withdrawal
options less than a day before the deadline. If you do not withdraw before the deadline, you will
receive the grade that you are making in the class as your final grade.
The following statements appear in the HCCS Student Handbook regarding withdrawal
from a course:
Be certain you understand HCC policies about dropping a course. It is your responsibility
to withdraw officially from a class and prevent an “F” from appearing on your transcript. When
considering withdrawal from a course, remember that: No grade is given and your transcript
reflects no record of the course if you withdraw before the Official Date of Record. Please see
the HCCS Official Academic Calendar which can be found by reviewing the academic calendar
on line at HCCS.edu). There are three ways to withdraw from a course:
Complete an official withdrawal form available at any campus
Write a letter stating your request to withdraw. The effective date of your withdrawal is
the post marked date of your letter:
Office of Student Records
Houston Community College System
P. O. Box 667517
Houston, Texas 77266-7517
Fax a letter of withdrawal to Registrar’s Office: 713-718-2111
http://www.hccs.edu/hcc/System%20Home/Departments/StudentHandbook/Academicinfo.pdf
HCC Policy Statement: Course Repeat Fee
“NOTICE: Students who repeat a course for a third or more times may soon face significant
tuition/fee increases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please ask your
instructor /counselor about opportunities for tutoring/other assistance prior to considering course
withdrawal or if you are not receiving passing grades.”
Course Withdrawals-First Time Freshman Students-Fall 2007 and Later Under Section 51.907 of
the Texas Education Code
“an institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop more than six courses,
including any course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education.”
This statute was enacted by the State of Texas in Spring 2007 and applies to students who enroll
in a public institution of higher education as a first-time freshman in fall 2007 or later. Any
course that a student drops is counted toward the six-course limit if “(1) the student was able to
drop the course without receiving a grade or incurring an academic penalty; (2) the student’s
transcript indicates or will indicate that the student was enrolled in the course; and (3) the student
is not dropping the course in order to withdraw form (sic) the institution.” High school students
enrolled in HCC Dual Credit and Early College are waived from this requirement until they
graduate from high school.
All college-level courses dropped after the official day of record are included in the six
course limit unless the student demonstrates to an appropriate college official that one of the
following events occurred to the student during the semester or summer session:
Page 6
A severe illness or other debilitating condition that affects the student’s ability to
satisfactorily complete (sic) the course.
The student’s responsibility for the care of a sick, injured, or needy person if the
provision of that care affects the student’s ability to satisfactorily complete (sic) the course.
The death of a person who is considered to be a member of the student’s family or who is
otherwise considered to have a sufficiently close relationship to the student that the person’s
death is considered to be a showing of good cause.
The active duty service as a member of the Texas National Guard or the armed forces of
the United States of either the student’s family and such active duty interferes with the student’s
ability to satisfactorily complete (sic) the course.

Classroom Behavior
No student has the right to interrupt the learning process of any student, therefore,
the Instructor will ensure that the classroom is an environment where learning takes place, where
every students will have an opportunity to participate by engaging and interacting in various
methods of intellectual exchange. Should a student engage in disruptions of any kind such as
repeated use of cell phone, engaging in conversations that are not a part of the classroom activity,
disrespectful and distracting tactics, and the like, the student will be asked to immediately leave
the classroom.
Students who engage in disruptive behavior will be asked to leave the class room or will be
removed from the class room by an employee of the college.
Furthermore, students must:
__Attend class and complete all assignments. Late assignments will not be accepted. If you
must miss class, consult with a class member to obtain assignments.
__Technological devices will be used for specific assignments and should be accessed only to
engage in assignments as instructed.
__Computers, beepers, cell phones and all technological devices must be turned off during
class and removed from your hand and desktop, failure to do so may result in dismissal
during the remainder of the class. Students who are admonished for using cell phones¸ but
repeatedly do so, will be removed from class. The use of cell phones will not be tolerated in this
class.
__Respect diverse opinions when engaging in class discussions.
__Try not to consume food, drink or popping gum during class.
__Report to class on time, fifteen minutes late, will result in an absence for the day.
__Work diligently to maximize your experience, persist and commit to earning your degree.
Use of Camera and/or Recording Devices: The use of recording devices, including camera
phones, tape recorders and all technical devices are prohibited in classrooms, laboratories,
faculty offices, and other locations where instruction, tutoring, or testing occurs. Students with
disabilities who need to use a recording device as a reasonable accommodation should contact
the Office for Students with Disabilities for information regarding reasonable accommodations.
Page 7
Program/Discipline Requirements
Grading: Quizzes, exams, and assessments will be used to determine how successful you are at
achieving the course learning outcomes (mastery of course content and skills) outlined in the
syllabus. Should a self-assessment indicate that you are not mastering the material and skills, you
are encouraged to reflect on how you study and prepare for each class. Students are encouraged
to engage in a dialogue with the instructor in order to identify solutions or resources on campus
that will improve subject performance. Houston Community College’s standard grading system,
which will be used in this class, is: 100-90=A, 89-80=B, 79-70=C, 69-60=D, 59-0=F
Evaluation: The course evaluation provides an assessment and summary of your work in all of
the exams, projects, activities, assignments, during the semester. Therefore, you must place a
high priority on all exams, special projects, class work and seek to do your very best. The exams
and quizzes will be developed from the information covered in class discussion, textbook
readings and special assignments and other materials related to the subject. Study summaries of
some subjects may also be provided to assist with understanding the subject as well as prepare
for exams and quizzes.. Please take note and if you miss a class, consult with your team
classmate so that you may keep your lecture/discussion notes current. Exams may be structured
in the form of multiple choice, true- false, essay writing and/or matching.
Exams: Five exams will be given, including the FINAL. While they may overlap with reading
materials, assignments and discussions will be considered in comprising the exams. The exams
will be written (and may include essay, multiple choice, true-false). Each of the exams will be
worth 100 points, except for the final which will be 150 points (100 comprised of multiple
choice, true and false and essay). Absolutely no make-up exams will be given at any time. The
final exam is mandatory for all students and will be given on the date that the final exam is
scheduled. Each exam will cover materials begun after the previous exam.
Class Room Discussion and Activities:: During regularly scheduled classes, we will engage in
class discussions and activities that are designed to emphasize materials covered in class. These
activities are also designed to help the students engage in healthy discussions, share view points
and examine various concepts about the subject. The instructor may determine if any of the
activities will or will not result in additional points added to the overall exam scores of each
student. If a point or points are given for any activity, ALL students are considered for the
additional points, however, in order for a student to earn points based on participation in class
activities:
___a student must attend class, with no more than the required absences as indicated in
HCC policies,
___actively participate in discussions,
___actively engage in all activities,
___complete and submit all assignments,
___adhere to class rules (see class conduct above), demonstrate interest and commitment
Note: If extra points are given, the extra points may be added to the exams that are given
prior to final. No extra points will be added to the final exam.
