WITHDRAWALS:
HCC Course Withdrawal Policy
If you feel that you cannot complete this course, you will need to withdraw from the course prior
to the final date of withdrawal.
Before, you withdraw from your course; please take the time to meet with the instructor to
discuss why you feel it is necessary to do so.
The instructor may be able to provide you with suggestions that would enable you to complete
the course.
Your success is very important. Beginning in fall 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law
limiting first time
entering freshmen to no more than SIX total course withdrawals throughout their educational
career in obtaining a certificate and/or degree.
To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC has instituted an Early
Alert process by which your professor may “alert” you and HCC counselors that you might fail a
class because of excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. It is your responsibility
to visit with your professor or a counselor to learn about what, if any, HCC interventions might
be available to assist you – online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc. – to stay
in class and improve your academic performance.
If you plan on withdrawing from your class, you may withdraw yourself online (except for flex
entry classes). This must be done PRIOR to the withdrawal deadline to receive a “w” on your
transcript. (**Final withdrawal deadlines vary each semester and/or depending on class length,
please visit the online registration calendars, HCC schedule of classes and catalog, any HCC
Registration Office, or any HCC counselor to determine class withdrawal deadlines.) Remember
to allow sufficient time (at least 24-hour response time) when communicating via email/and or
telephone with an instructor or counselor. It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw
officially from a course to keep from receiving an "F" for the class. Should you stop attending
class without withdrawing, you will be given a grade of “FX”. Please read on-line the
attendance policy.
It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw officially from a course to keep from
receiving an "F" for the class.
DRESS CODE: Black Scrubs, Solid Black Shoes, (socks or hose must be worn). Black Lab
Jacket when working in the classroom. A black long sleeve thermal shirt or sweater may be worn
under scrub top in cooler weather. Logos or emblems on shoes must be black.
No Leggings, tight fitting pants or regular clothing
SCHOLASTIC DISHONETY:
Students are expected to conduct themselves with honor and integrity in fulfilling the course
requirements. Any student found cheating on a test, plagiarizing or in collusion will receive
an "F" for the assignment and the course, and will be dropped from the program. See
student on-line policies for college policy on academic dishonesty and disciplinary problems.
Make-up policy for missed assignments or tests:
There are no make-ups for missed weekly exams. Make-up for a missed mid-term or final test
will be permitted only if the student informs the instructor in advance. The student must
make arrangements to take the missed test at least 3 days prior to the original test date. It
should be understood that the make-up test would not be the same as the test given to the
rest of the student body.
Disability Support Services
HCCS has a Disability Support psychological counselor and office located at each of its five
colleges.
See a Disability Staff member at the Katy campus at the Katy Branch –HCC College.
Students with physical and learning/developmental disabilities may request accommodations and
special equipment through these offices. For specific program information, locations and
procedures to receive accommodations and equipment see the Student On-line and Class
Schedule. Students must have a letter on file with the cosmetology department about their
disability.
EGLS3 – Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System
At HCC, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching
and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short on-line survey of
research-based questions related to instructions. The anonymous results of the survey will be
reported to your instructors and chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the
survey as part of the HCC system on-line near the end of the term.
Felony Statement
All students must check with the Department of Licensing and Regulations to find out if they
have a felony that will prevent them from obtaining
a license. (www.license.state.tx.us) or call 1-800-803-9202 and speak to a representative.
