ATTENDANCE: Students who miss 6 class meetings may be administratively withdrawn or receive an "F" course
grade. Students who enter the class late, after attendance is taken, must talk to the teacher about the lateness or be
counted as absent.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP WORK: Students who miss an exam should contact the instructor as soon as
possible to arrange a make-up exam. Make ups will only be allowed when the student has previously made
arrangements with the teacher or in cases of medical emergencies. In general, homework and quizzes cannot be
made-up unless serious extenuating circumstances exist. Please contact the instructor as soon as possible if such
circumstances arise.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class.
Contact the Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course (“W” grade) or to change from
Credit to Audit. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for deadlines. 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 communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your
MyTCC email address; and you must use MyTCC email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor
regarding this course. The website for MyTCC is mytcc.tulsacc.edu.
Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise, TCC
always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This information is also posted on the TCC
website (www.tulsacc.edu).
GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge,
and abilities that comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and personal
lives. TCC’s General Education goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged Learning, and
Technological Proficiency.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and
perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher
learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Use of any electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor.

SYLLABUS CHANGES: Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any

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.
Updated: 3/22/2016

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.
PLAGIARISM: Plagiarism means copying the words or ideas of another without giving proper credit. This includes
materials found on the Internet, whether copywrited or not. Other examples of plagiarism include: copying sentences
or paragraphs that are not your own and changing a few of the words without giving credit, improper citation of
sources and failing to put quotes in quotation marks. Students can avoid plagiarism by making sure that their writing
is their own and by properly citing sources as necessary. Failure to do so may result in a penalty as outlined under
“Academic Dishonesty”.
INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC
Catalog, TCC Student Handbook, Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed in the
class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu
