ATTENDANCE POLICY
Missouri Health Professions Consortium (MHPC)
Students enrolled in the MHPC OTA program are expected to attend all scheduled
class sessions. Students are expected to be prepared, and demonstrate timely
attendance for all class/lab/fieldwork sessions and appointments. Attendance will
be taken at the discretion of the instructors. A faculty member may use attendance,
or lack of attendance, as a criterion in the determination of a course grade.
In the event of an unexpected absence, it is the student's responsibility to notify the
OTA Program Office and send an e-mail to the course instructor(s) regarding
missed work and reason for absence. The instructor on record can then make a
determination with this information on how the absences can be rectified or
whether it is possible to satisfactorily complete the course with the number of
identified absences. Students aware of an anticipated absence should inform the
course instructor at least 24 hours in advance, in writing; email is acceptable.
Missouri Health Professions Consortium OTA Program
Sandy Lykins, MOT, OTR/L
OTA 200- Foundations of Occupational Therapy Spring 2009
For students exhibiting habitual tardiness or absence (i.e. more than one
occurrence) the course instructor will note the issue on the student’s academic
advising form and put a copy in the student’s file.
If two consecutive weeks of class are missed during the regular 16-week semester,
the student will be dropped from that class unless acceptable justification is
supplied to the instructor, Program Director, and Dean of the community college.
Additionally, a student who misses more than one-fourth of the class during any
scheduled session may be dropped from that class by the instructor if in the
opinion of the instructor the student does not have a reasonable opportunity to
succeed in the class.
ACADEMIC POLICY
The Missouri Health Professions Consortium (MHPC) considers academic
dishonesty a serious offense. Students are expected to be familiar with their home
campus’ definitions and explanations of academic dishonestly. MHPC will uphold
and refer to those definitions.
The department will not tolerate plagiarism, cheating, unauthorized possession
of exams or exam questions/information, tampering with instructor's grade book or
grades, or in any way producing class work, papers, or exams through deceptive,
illegitimate means. Any student who commits an act of academic dishonesty is
subject to disciplinary action and possible dismissal from the program.
Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a program.
All members of the academic community must honorably have acquired,
developed, and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students
is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community
regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious

consequences that range from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about
plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, or collaboration, consult the course instructor.
