student fails to achieve a 70 or above for a COSM program class,
they must repeat that class before moving forward in the program.
Work Ethics Information: The Technical College System of Georgia instructs and evaluates
students on work ethics in all programs of study. Ten work ethics
traits have been identified and defined as essential for student
success: appearance, attendance, attitude, character,
communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity,
respect, and teamwork. As a student in this Ogeechee Technical
College course, you will be expected to adhere to the highest
standards of these 10 character traits in your behavior as well as
your coursework.
Classroom Policies
Dress Code:
Ogeechee Technical College strives to train honest, hardworking
professionals of good character in a secure environment. That is
why appropriate dress and clear display of student ID is expected
of every student.
The current OTC dress code reads as follows: Dress requirements
vary in classrooms, laboratory, and shop areas. Students enrolled
in internships and clinical courses are required to dress
appropriately according to the requirements of the work for
which they are being trained. Student shall not dress, groom,
wear, or use emblems, insignias, badges, or other symbols or lewd
or vulgar words where the effect thereof is offensive to a
reasonable person or otherwise causes disruption or interference
with the orderly operations of the college. The supervising
administrator shall determine if the particular mode of dress
results in disruptions or interference. Student shall at all times
observe rules governing body cleanliness and not wear short or
tight shorts, swimsuits, tank tops, bare midriffs, or have bare feet.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional
manner in the salon setting. A professional image is mandatory. A
full uniform is required at all times. The required dress code is
Ogeechee Tech Student ID, white lab coat, solid white shirt (no
midriff), solid black scrubs or dress pants (no knits or sweats),
solid black walking shoes (no canvas or open toe), and black socks
or black hose. Undergarments must be natural, nude or white as
not to be noticeable under white shirt. Exposed legs must be
covered. No head wraps. You will not be permitted into class
without a clean, proper uniform. Head wraps are not permitted.
Student ID must be worn at all times at the left side of the
uniform. Students’ hands must be properly groomed. Nail length
Rev Fall 2013
4
(free edge) no longer than top of fingertip length. Neutral pale
pink, flesh colored, transparent (clear) or French tip nail polish.
Students who do not adhere to the dress code will be asked to
leave the class immediately.
Attendance:
Attendance is extremely important for success in this course, you
can only learn if you are present. Attendance will be checked at
the start of each class period.
To receive credit for this course a student must attend 90% of the
scheduled instructional time. Any student attending less than
90% of the scheduled instructional time will receive a "W" for the
course if removed from the course before 60% of the semester is
up. After 60% of the semester any student who has maintained a
passing grade within a course will receive a 'WP' for the course
when attending less than 90% of the scheduled instructional time.
If, however, the student has not maintained a passing grade, he or
she will receive a 'WF' for the course. Attendance is counted from
the first scheduled class meeting of each semester.
Food and Drink:
Food and beverages (other than water) are not allowed in
classrooms/labs.
Absences:
A student is required to attend class 90% of the scheduled
instruction time. A student may be absent a total of 6 days for Fall
and Spring terms and 4 days for Summer term. Tardy means
arriving after the scheduled time for instruction to begin. Early
departure means leaving before the end of the scheduled
instructional time. Three (3) tardies or early departures equal one
(1) absence for the course involved. COSM/ESTH classes are
taught in a block format. (For Example: COSM 1010 has 90
contact hours. So you can miss 9 hours total of COSM 1010
without being dropped from that class. Since each class is taught
from start to finish before moving onto the next class, each hour
must be accounted for. A student will work for 50 minutes and
receive 10 minute break. If the student does not return to class
after the ten minute break, they will be counted tardy for the next
hour. Therefore, a student may receive more than 3 tardies in one
day. This will help the student to achieve the required contact
hours for each program class.) All work missed due to tardiness or
absences must be made up at the convenience of the instructor.
Provisions for instructional time missed because of documented
absences due to jury duty, military duty, required job training, or
official college activities will be made at the discretion of the
instructor.
Rev Fall 2013

There are no excused absences except those documented by
a death certificate, written doctor’s report, arrest warrant etc.
Students are responsible for all material covered when absent.
Tardiness:
Tardiness is disruptive, unfair to, and inconsiderate of others. It
can develop into a bad habit that could ultimately cost you a job!
If you come in late, it is your responsibility to see that your
absence is changed to a tardy! Students who will be dropped from
the class roll when your absences exceed 10% of the total class
hours for the course. Three (3) tardies equal one (1) absence for
the course involved. Tardy means arriving after the scheduled
time for instruction to begin or departing before the end of the
scheduled time. Leaving the class without the instructor’s
permission will count as an early departure. If you need to leave
the class for any reason, notify your instructor prior to leaving.
Exams are scheduled well enough in advance so that adequate
arrangements can be made if necessary.
Arriving late on a scheduled test/exam day will not be tolerated. If
you are late, you will not be allowed to test and will receive a
grade of zero.
Course Withdrawal:
Students who withdraw from a course and have attended 60% or
less of the course will receive a “W”. Students who withdraw from
a course and have attended more than 60% of the course will be
issued a “WF” if the student was failing or a “WP” if the student
was passing upon withdrawing or being dropped from the course.
Students may withdraw from a maximum three courses while
enrolled at the college. Once a student has accumulated three “W”
grades, he/she may elect to receive a “withdrawal failing” (WF)
for the course or remain in the course. Please note WF is
calculated as an “F” for GPA purposes. Some exceptions may apply
I the even a student withdrawals for an acceptable hardship,
medical, and/or military reason. Documentation will be required.
Procedures to apply for an exception are available in the 20132014 Catalog and Student Handbook. Questions: Contact the
Counseling and Retention coordinator at 912.486.7811 or via
email at twhite@ogeecheetech.edu.
Late Work:
A detailed calendar will be provided during orientation.
Late work will not be accepted.
Missed Exams:
A detailed calendar will be provided. Exams are
scheduled well in advance. An exam may be made up the Monday
following the missed exam. Any missed exam will receive an
Rev Fall 2013

automatic -11 point deduction. It is the student’s responsibility to
make arrangements for taking the makeup test. If the student does
not make up the missed test on the Monday following the missed
test, then the instructor will enter a grade of zero (0) for the
missed test.
Extra Credit:
At the instructor’s discretion.
Miscellaneous Information:
Supplemental instruction will be provided on an individual basis
upon request. The student may use videos and advanced technical
if desired.
Field trips to hair shows or seminars may be included in this
course. The students are encouraged to seek advanced training
skills by attending shows, seminars, and workshops. It will be

Cosmetology program.
Cheating/Plagiarism:
Academic honesty is expected at all times. Any student found to
have engaged in academic misconduct such as cheating,
plagiarism, or collusion is subject to disciplinary sanctions as
outlined in the Student Code of Conduct detailed in the OTC
Catalog and Student Handbook. The term “plagiarism” includes,
but is not limited to, the use, by paraphrase or direct quotation, of
the published or unpublished work of another person without full
and clear acknowledgment. The term “collusion” includes, but is
not limited to, the unauthorized collaboration with any other
