Attendance Policy: Class attendance is necessary in order to
achieve a level of understanding and comprehension of the
material. For unattended classes, the student is responsible for
making arrangements with a fellow student to procure lecture
notes, handouts, or special instructions that were disseminated
during the class. For online classes, attendance is considered to be
the activity within Hawkes Learning System. The last date of
attendance will be the last date that was recorded inside HLS for
assignment submitted.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL: The deadline to withdraw from a
course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration ofany class. Check the TCC
Academic Calendar for the deadline that applies to the course(s). Begin
the process with a discussion with the faculty member assigned to the
course. Contact the Advisement
Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course
('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit.
Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a course after the
drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and
future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC
if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop
participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a
course grade of “F,”which may have financial aid consequences
for the student.
Communications:
Email communications: All TCC students receive a designated
“MyTCC” email address (ex: jane_doe@mail.tulsacc.edu). All
email communications to you will be sent to your MyTCC email

Academic Dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of
others about one’s own work or about the work of another.
Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated
at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa
Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of
authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary
actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the
dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In
the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may: require the
student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to
complete a substitute assignment or test; Record a "zero" for the
assignment or test in question; Recommend to the student that the
student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the
student from the class; Record a grade of "F" for the student at the
end of the semester.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a
student at the administrative level by submitting such request to the
Dean of Student Services.
Institutional Statement: Each student is
responsible for being aware of the information contained in the
