ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Students are expected to attend class daily and be on time. Any students absent from
class in excess of 12.5 percent of the hours of instruction will be dropped from the
course (including lecture and laboratory time). Students arriving late to class (15
minutes or more) will be marked absent for the day. After 3 absentees, the student
may be dropped from the course and must repeat the course at a later time. Should
absence be approved by instructor to remain in class, grade will automatically be
reduced.
Canceling a Class
Every effort is made to begin and hold class at the designated time. Each class is
contingent of the required minimum number of students. Occasionally, extenuating
circumstances arise requiring a cancellation or delay. In such cases, we attempt to
notify all students by email. Make sure that the college has a current phone number or
an alternate number where you can be reached and your correct email address on file
in the admission office.
Houston Community College reserves the right when necessary to cancel classes, alter
schedules or substitute instructors.
Students are not notified if a class has made. Students are contacted only in the event
of a class cancellation or change.
Inclement Weather
In the event severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, ice storms or other acts of
nature create hazardous conditions and /or extended power outages, college
administrators may find it necessary to close the college. In this case, students and
faculty are advised to listen to the local area radio and television stations for
announcements and check your HCC email updates or log on to www.schoolclosings.net
Instructor “No Show”
In the event an instructor does not show, every effort will be made to provide a
substitute instructor.
Student Conduct

HCCS enforces a 0 tolerance policy! Disruptive behavior or any behavior that
interferes with any educational activity being performed by the instructor will not
be allowed. Additionally, no student may interfere with his/her fellow students’
right to pursue their academic goals to the fullest in an atmosphere appropriate to
a community of scholars (no profanity or loud hostile talk). Should an instance
arise, Police will be called and a $500.00 ticked can be given as well as payment

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”.
“Students who take a course for the third time or more must now pay
significant tuition/fee increases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and
universities. At HCC it is an additional $50 per credit hour. If you are
considering course withdrawal because you are not passing grades, confer
with your instructor/counselor as early as possible about your study habits,
reading and writing homework, test-taking skills, attendance, course
participation, and opportunities for tutoring or other assistance that might be
available. Also, the state of Texas has passed a new law limiting new
students (as of Fall 2007) to no more than six withdrawals throughout their
academic career in obtaining a baccalaureate degree.”
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 lab. 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.
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 handbook 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 1010 Sam Houston at the Spring 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 Handbook and Class
Schedule. Students must have a letter on file with Mrs. Bassett 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.
