CARTERET COMMUNITY COLLEGE
POLICIES
ATTENDANCE POLICY: Class attendance plays an important role in student success, and Carteret Community
college requires consistent attendance of all students. Absences are counted from the first course meeting regardless
of when a student registers for, or enters, the course. Students must attend a minimum of 80% of a course including
class hours, laboratory periods, and shop sessions. For Health Science and Developmental courses, a student must
attend a minimum of 90% of the scheduled course hours.
When a student has exceeded the number of allowed absences (over cut), the student will be dropped from the
course. A student who over cuts after the 10% point and before the 65% point of a semester (the Last Date to Drop
Without Penalty) will receive a grade of "WD" (Official Withdrawal), which is non-punitive. A student who over
cuts after the 65% point will receive a grade reduced by the missed work for the remainder of the course, which in
most cases would be an "F". It is the student's responsibility to notify each instructor of the reason for an absence. If
a faculty member determines that circumstances warrant leniency on the attendance policy, the faculty member can
assign additional work to compensate for the missed class time. A note explaining such accommodations must be
attached to the Attendance Roster. Information regarding the number of hours a student must attend in a variety of
courses is listed below. Students should consult with their instructor about the actual hours of required attendance
for each class.

INCOMPLETE GRADE POLICY: “I” (Incomplete)—no grade or quality points because of incomplete work. An
“I” must be removed by the date indicated on the Academic Calendar of the following semester. If an “I” is not
removed within the time allowed, the “I” will be changed to an “F”.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY: A student may withdraw or "drop" a course by submitting a completed Drop Form to
the Student Enrollment Resources department. A course dropped prior to the 10 percent date of the semester does
not appear on a student's transcript. A course dropped between the 10% and the 65% (the Last Date to Drop
Without Penalty) point of the semester earns a non-punitive WD grade. A course dropped after the 65% point of the
semester will be issued the letter grade earned with all remaining work factored as zeros, which in most cases this
will be a grade of "F." It is the student's responsibility to know the Last Date to Drop without Penalty.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & PLAGIARISM POLICY: College-level work should be thoughtful reflection and
assessment of the published materials you have gathered for study, written in your own words, not merely a cut and
paste of that material.
Reflection and summary represent critical thinking skills; cut and paste constitutes plagiarism.
Intentional plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft that violates widely recognized principles of academic integrity.
Plagiarism may occur with respect to unpublished as well as published material.
Intentional Plagiarism: Intentional plagiarism is the deliberate act of representing the words, ideas, or data of
another as one's own without providing proper attribution to the author through quotation, reference, or footnote.
Inadvertent Plagiarism: Inadvertent plagiarism involves the inappropriate, but nondeliberate, use of another's
words, ideas, or data without proper attribution, usually from ignorant failure to follow rules for documenting
Revised: Month and Year, Initials
Page 6
sources or from simply not being careful in research and writing. Inadvertent plagiarism is a form of academic
misconduct. Students who are in doubt as to whether they are providing proper attribution should consult with
their instructor for guidance.
Examples of plagiarism include:
1. Direct Plagiarism - The verbatim copying of an original source without acknowledging the source.
2. Paraphrased Plagiarism - The paraphrasing, without acknowledgment, of ideas from another that the reader
might mistake for your own.
3. Plagiarism Mosaic - The borrowing of words, ideas, or data from an original source and blending this
original material with one's own without acknowledging the source.
4. Insufficient Acknowledgment - The partial or incomplete attribution of words, ideas, or data from an
original source.

SPECIAL NEEDS POLICY: (If any of the following apply please make an appointment with the instructor as
soon as possible.)
1. Reasonable accommodations needed due to a disability;
2. Emergency medical information;
3. Special arrangements in case of building evacuation.
Any students with any documented disabilities, or any persons who think they may need accommodations for
learning or other disabilities, should speak directly to the special needs counselor (252-222-6148) and the instructor
as early as possible in the semester (preferably within the first week of class). All discussions will remain
confidential.
REMEMBER: If you are a disabled student currently receiving accommodations, please contact Gale Swann in
Academic Support to have your accommodation worksheet forwarded to all your instructors. This needs to be done
every semester.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY: The decision to close the College will rest with the President and will be
based on the recommendations of the College's Storm Team, and will take into account many factors, in particular,
the safety of students and employees. Employees and students can contact the College's main telephone number at
(252) 222-6000 for the latest information 24 hours a day. In the event of closing, a recorded message will be
prepared giving as much information as possible. Closing information will also be passed to employees and students
via area news media organizations.
BUILDING EVACUATION POLICY: This policy is currently under revision and should be available by fall
semester.
