GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Class and laboratory attendance is required. Students with 3 or more absences
are eligible for administrative withdrawal.
2. Tardiness. Be present for the class or laboratory as close as possible to the scheduled
starting time. The time of arrival is particularly important for Laboratory since
instructions are provided concerning the activities for sessions. If you are late,
particularly during a lecture, enter the room and take a seat quietly to avoid
disrupting the class.
3. Students are expected to participate in all scheduled examinations. If a student misses
a scheduled lecture exam of whatever reason, the makeup exam will be conducted the
last week of the semester. The format of the examination will differ (i.e. fewer
questions, true-false and matching questions) from the objective format of the
scheduled examination. If a student arrives late for a scheduled examination they will
only have the time remaining from the official start of the exam. Should a student
arrive at the examination after the first examinee has turned in the test materials, they
will have to take and alternate examination. Laboratory examination makeup’s
will be determined on an individual basis.
4. LABORATORY. Students are expected to abide by the rules of safety at all times
during the laboratory exercises. Students work in groups during the laboratory
sessions, but individual participation is expected in completion of laboratory reports.
These reports are to be completed and turned in at the following sessions or when
requested. To encourage timely submission of laboratory reports points will be
deducted if they are turned in at the time of the laboratory examination.
5. STUDENT CONDUCT. Abusive language or disruptive behavior by a student (s)
will not be tolerated. If such situation arise, Town and Country Square Security will
be immediately notified and the appropriate action taken.
6. SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY DURING EXAMINATIONS. A verbal warning
will be promptly issued if dishonesty is suspected with a possible “F” entered for the
test grade. If it should become a chronic and persistent problem the student will be
advised to withdraw from the course.
7. DISABILITIES. Students with disabilities should consult with the Disability
Counselor as soon as possible so that an accommodation plan can be drawn up and
implemented.
8. TASP. All students must have taken the TASP test or similar examination before
attempting any college level credit hours. If you have not been tested see the
counselor immediately.
9. CORE CURRICULUM. Essential to the learning process are six basic intellectual
competencies. Among the objectives of this course the following components will be
addressed such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, critical thinking, and
computer literacy.
10. STUDENT HANDBOOK. Free publication with important for all students. Also
contains the mission statement of the Houston Community College System.
11. TURN OFF ALL PAGERS AND CELL PHONES IN THE CLASS AND
LABORATORY. These instruments are distracting to the others in the room and
may interfere with cardiac pacemakers.
12. If a student lacks the prerequisite they should meet as soon as possible with the
instructor to determine the exact status of this situation.
13. FAILING A CLASSS THREE (3) TIMES, will cause you to lose financing.
