Student Accessibility Resources
Any student with a documented disability needing academic accommodations is required to contact the Student Accessibility
Resources (SAR) Office located on each campus to schedule an appointment with the Coordinator of SAR. All discussions are
confidential. Because SAR accommodations may require early planning and are not provided retroactively, students are encouraged to
contact SAR as early in the semester as possible. SAR is responsible for approving and coordinating all disability-related services.
TCC professors will honor requests for accommodation when they are issued by SAR.
Campus Carry
Effective August 1, 2017, the Campus Carry law (Senate Bill 11 ) allows those licensed individuals to carry a concealed handgun in
buildings on public community college campuses, except in locations the College establishes as prohibited. Prohibited areas include
but are not limited to Theater and Performance Halls, Health Services, Testing Services, Counseling Services, Physical Education,
Early College High School Programs, Child Care Facilities, and the TCC Police Department. Under the new law, openly carrying
handguns is not allowed on college campuses. For more specific TCC regulations, http://www.tccd.edu/services/policedepartment/open-carry/campus-carry-regulations/. For emergency information, please go to the following link:
https://www.tccd.edu/about/emergency-information/.
Course Evaluation
Student participation in the evaluation process is critical to the college's commitment to quality teaching and academic excellence.
Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the process with constructive feedback that is relevant to teaching and course
content. The average time to complete the course evaluation is approximately 5-8 minutes. Results remain anonymous and will not be
available to faculty until after grades are posted. Please take time to share your comments, suggestions, and concerns.
This course may be evaluated between 06/10/16 and 08/04/16. Course Evaluation.
Title IX Reports of Discrimination Based on Sex, including Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Stalking, Dating
Violence, or Gender-Based Harassment
All faculty at Tarrant County College are designated as a "Responsible Employee" and are required to report Sexual Misconduct. State
law requires all faculty and staff to report sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking against a
student or employee to the Title IX Coordinator. TCC cares about the safety of our employees and students and has created this notice
because interpersonal violence and sex discrimination in all forms are unacceptable. TCC is committed to holding perpetrators
accountable and keeping reporting parties safe. Student's privacy is of utmost importance and TCC will strive to protect your privacy to
the extent possible while complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations as well as TCC policy.
Students who desire that details of the incident be kept confidential have two options. (1): request to speak with a licensed counselor at
a TCC campus (service available free to students), or (2): contact an off-campus rape crisis center.
Pregnant and Parenting Students
Title IX prohibits discrimination against a student based on pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or
recovery from any of these conditions; and for parenting a child under one year of age. To learn more about how to request support for
pregnant and parenting students, go to the Title IX website by clicking on Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Students. On this site
you will find guidelines and forms to assist you with working with your faculty members.

Methods of Instruction
Course content and activitieswill be delivered to participants completely through the online course environment in Blackboard. This
materia will be supplemented based on individual needs with one-on-one consultation with the course instructor via email or
scheduled video conferencing.
EmailPolicy
Emails will receive a response within 48hours. I will be checking email regularly throughout the day,so typically you can expect a
response from me within a few hours during the week. I will occasionally check email after hours and on weekends, but response
times may take up to 48 hours outside of my usual window of availability.
One of the most important things to know is that I will send e-mail to your TCC designated e-mail account (username@my.tccd.edu).
You must read and respond to your email. If you send me e-mail on TCC learning designated e-mail address then I will respond to
each e-mail which I receive within 48 hours, usually much sooner. However, if you do not receive a reply (on your Campus Cruiser email) then I did not receive your e-mail. Please do not e-mail me from your private e-mail account, such as aol.com or
yahoo.com,because I cannot reply using those e-mail accounts, due to FERPA regulations.

If you miss exams 1 through 6 for any reason, you may take a comprehensive make-up exam (multiple-choice questions and problems
covering the information on the first six exams) to replace the zero on the missed exam.
Everyone is eligible to take the make-up, not just those who have missed an exam. If you wish to try to improve your average, you
may take the comprehensive and the grade will be substituted (if higher) for your lowest test grade on the first six exams. If the
comprehensive grade is lower, it will be ignored. Only one grade may be increased in this manner.

Additional Class Information:
Statement of Ethics and Scholastic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in accounting courses. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, copying, sharing, or
obtaining information from any unauthorized source during examinations or quizzes. It also includes copying from or unauthorized sharing
of homework assignments, attempting to take credit for the intellectual creation of another person, or falsifying information. Any student
involved in academic dishonesty will be penalized in accordance with published College rules.
Withdrawals
It is your responsibility to withdraw from the course should you decide not to continue in the course. You may withdraw
from any course on or before JULY 23RD . Contact the registrar if you need to withdraw from a course
Mandatory Attendance
Regular and punctual class attendance is expected at Tarrant County College. Student absences will be recorded from the
first day the class meets. In case of absence, it is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor. Students absent on
official school businessare entitled to make up coursework missed. In all other cases, the instructor will judge
whether the student will be permitted to make up work and will decide on the time and nature of the makeup.
However, the student is expressly responsible for any work missed regardless of the cause of the absence. The student
must discuss such work with the instructor and should do so immediately on returning to school. Communication between
the student and instructor is most important, and it is the student's responsibility to initiate such communication. If
students do not appear at the prearranged time for makeup work, they forfeit their rights for further makeup of that work.
Students who stop attending class for any reason should contact the instructor and the Registrar?s office to officially
withdraw from the class. Failure to officially withdraw may result in a failing grade for the course.
Class attendance and participation are essential to student success. Effective with the Spring 2012 term, the following
attendance guidelines will apply:
A student in an online course is required to successfully complete the online course orientation and actively participate in the
course as described in the Instructor?s Course Requirements (ICRs). A student not meeting these requirements may be dropped
at the discretion of the instructor. Review the course calendar for due dates of assignments. Any missed assignments are
counted as absences in online courses and count toward the accumulation of 15 percent class meetings
For this course, one textbook assignment and/or test is due every week. Students will be deemed to be actively
participating in this course if the assignment or test is submitted each week. You may be dropped at my discretion after
the third missed assignment is recorded.

resources.
