Classroom Policies and Procedures
A. General Information
All supplies and equipment needed to complete labs will be provided by the instructor.
B. Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance is REQUIRED in this course. If you miss a class, please notify the instructor as
soon as possible. At midterm, the instructor will review attendance records and may recommend
that students with excessive absences be withdrawn from class. However, no one should assume
that he/she would definitely be dropped from the class. If a student can no longer attend or for any
reason must drop the course, it is his/her responsibility to officially withdraw.
C. Make-up Policy
Department policy states that tests & quizzes may NOT be made-up without the prior consent of the
instructor.
D. Extra-credit Policy
E. Final Exam Information
The final exam will be 50 questions, multiple choice and will be available to take on-line during final
exam week.
F.
Academic Honor Code
The objective of the academic honor code is to sustain a learning-centered environment in which all
students are expected to demonstrate integrity, honor, and responsibility, and recognize the
importance of being accountable for one’s academic behavior.
G. College Statement about grades of 'F' and withdrawal from class
o Students may withdraw from a course by processing an add/drop form during regular office
hours through the Registration and Records Office at Main Campus or Romeoville Campus, or
by phone at 815-744-2200. Please note the withdrawal dates listed on your bill or student
schedule. Every course has its own withdrawal date. Failure to withdraw properly may result in
a failing grade of “F” in the course.
o At any time prior to the deadline dates established, an instructor may withdraw a student
from class because of poor attendance, poor academic performance or inappropriate
academic behavior, such as, but not limited to, cheating or plagiarism.
H. Intellectual Property
Students own and hold the copyright to the original work they produce in class. It is a widely
accepted practice to use student work as part of the college's internal self-evaluation, assessment
procedures, or other efforts to improve teaching and learning and in promoting programs and
recruiting new students. If you do not wish your work to be used in this manner, please inform the
instructor.
I.
Student Code of Conduct
Each student is responsible for reading and adhering to the Student Code of Conduct as stated in
the college catalog.
J.
Sexual Harassment
Joliet Junior College seeks to foster a community environment in which all members respect and trust
each other. In a community in which persons respect and trust each other, there is no place for
sexual harassment. JJC has a strong policy prohibiting the sexual harassment of one member of the
college community by another. See Catalog or Student Handbook.
