“Shelton State Community College is dedicated to the success of its students. To further that
goal, free tutoring is available to all currently enrolled students. If you need additional
assistance to succeed, contact Annette Cook at acook@sheltonstate.edu. If you have a
disability and need accommodations to help you be successful, contact Michele Minor at
m.minor@sheltonstate.edu or visit her in the Office of Specialized Student Services.”
Shelton State Community College continues to be committed to a safe teaching and learning
environment for students and employees. In an effort to further strengthen efforts at keeping
the College Community free from weapon related violence and to eradicate sexual misconduct
crimes and infractions, SSCC has recently enacted the following policies that address these
areas specifically. Sexual misconduct is an often underreported crime and victims should be
aware that SSCC has a confidential process in place for reporting such actions and for helping
victims identify resources for assistance. Links to these policies and other important
emergency preparedness related topics may be found on the college website:

Plan
Whether or not academic misconduct has occurred and what classroom sanctions, if any, are to
be applied are matters to be determined by the respective instructor. A student who opposes
the sanction imposed by an instructor may appeal the matter to the appropriate Associate
Dean.
SSCC Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are
registered, to be prompt, and to remain in class/lab for the entire time. Attendance will be
recorded at every class/lab meeting. On the final grade report, instructors are required to
identify the last day of attendance for all students who receive a grade of “F” or “U.” Students
who are unable to attend class regularly, regardless of the reason or circumstance, should
withdraw from the class. Withdrawal from class can affect eligibility for federal financial aid.
If a student is unable to attend at least 80 percent of class meetings, regardless of the reason or
circumstance, it is recommended that the student withdraw from that class; excessive absences
interfere with the student’s ability to successfully complete the course.
The college catalog and website detail standard college polices for all teaching and learning
activities. This class syllabus is intended to give further detail about the policies and
expectations in this class. Students are expected to be aware of and abide by College policies in
every class.
All students who are or have been registered for classes at Shelton State Community College
are provided an e-mail account. Students who are currently registered must have an e-mail
account. Electronic mail is the official method of communication for delivery of information.
Shelton State designated communicators may use this e-mail account to send official
communications to the student body. Student email addresses will be recorded in the college’s
electronic directories and records. To activate/sign in to your Bucs Mail account, visit the Bucs
Mail icon at www.sheltonstate.edu.
