As of August 1, 2017, Houston Community College is subject to the Campus Carry Law (SB11 2015). For more information, visit the HCC Campus Carry web page at http://www.hccs.edu/district/departments/police/campuscarry/. ATTENDANCE POLICY Students who are absent more than three class sessions may be administratively dropped from the course without notification. Exceptions to this policy will be up to the discretion of the instructor. The instructor will check attendance. Distance education students must participate actively in the course room daily. The instructor is required to report all absences for all learners receiving financial aid (grants, VA, Social Security, etc...) It is the responsibility of the student to formally withdraw from a class. Distance Education students must actively participate on-line on a weekly basis. On the first day of class students are expected to introduce themselves in the discussion box via Canvas. HCC COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY The State of Texas has begun to impose penalties on students who drop courses excessively. For example, if you repeat the same course more than twice, you have to pay extra tuition. Beginning in Fall 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law limiting students to no more than SIX total course withdrawals throughout their educational career in obtaining a certificate and/or degree. To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC has instituted an Early Alert process by which your professor will alert you and counselors that you might fail a class because of excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. You should visit with your professor or a counselor to learn about what, if any, HCC interventions might be available to assist you online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc. to stay in class and to improve your academic performance. If you plan on withdrawing from your class, you MUST contact a counselor or your professor prior to withdrawing (dropping) the class and this must be done PRIOR to the withdrawal deadline to receive a W on your transcript. **Final withdrawal deadlines vary each semester and/or depending on class length, please visit the online registration calendars, HCC schedule of classes and catalog, any HCC Registration Office, or any HCC counselor to determine class withdrawal deadlines. Remember to allow a 72-hour response time when communicating via email and/or 3
telephone with a professor and/or counselor. Do not submit a request to discuss withdrawal options less than a day before the deadline. If you do not withdraw before the deadline, you will receive the grade that you are making in the class as your final grade. EXPANDED ONLINE TUTORING Onsite tutor is available upon application at the Academic Success Center of Coleman Campus. Online tutoring is offered to students in MATH, BIOL, CHEM, PHYS, ENGL, PSYC, and for papers in all subjects.
