XI. CLASSROOM POLICIES:
A. Absences and Make-up Work
1. The student is expected to attend each class meeting.
2. The student is responsible for all material covered or assigned during classes or labs.
3. Due to the nature of the course, attendance is required. If you are unable to attend a lecture or lab session of the course, you must notify the Dental Hygiene staff assistant by 8:00 AM the day of the absence or you must inform the instructor prior to the absence. Be prepared to present a physician’s excuse if requested.
Three tardies will be equivalent to one unexcused absence. With three unexcused absences, the student will be dropped from the course. The absence will be determined as excused or unexcused according to the attendance policy in the clinic manual. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor for assignments, handouts and make-up work missed during an absence.
4. Late lab assignments and film evaluations will have 2 points deducted from the assignment grade for each day the assignment is late.
5. Discussion posts and online assignments are not graded if submitted after the due date.
B. Academic Honesty
Each student is expected to be in complete compliance with the college policy on academic honesty as set forth in the college catalog and the student handbook. Any student cheating on an exam will receive a zero on the exam which cannot be replaced by the final exam score and the professor at his discretion can withdraw the student from the class.
* Special Rules - Additional rules pertaining to this class will be found in the Dental Hygiene Clinic Manual.
C. Drop/Add
September 5, 2017 Add/Refund Deadline (Drop classes with 100% refund)
To receive a 100% refund of the refundable fees, students must drop from a
course or all courses before the last day of the Drop/Add period as listed in the
credit class schedule.
If you withdraw from a class after the Add/Drop period but before the
Withdrawal deadline, you will receive a grade of "W" and will not be entitled to a
refund of fees.
C. Withdrawal
Per Valencia Policy 4-07 (Academic Progress, Course Attendance and Grades, and Withdrawals), a student who withdraws from class before the withdrawal deadline of November 10, 2017 will receive a grade of “W.” A student is not permitted to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline. A faculty member MAY withdraw a student up to the beginning of the final exam period for violation of the class attendance policy. A student who is withdrawn by faculty for violation of the class attendance policy will receive a grade of “W.” Any student who withdraws or is withdrawn from a class during a third or subsequent attempt in the same course will be assigned a grade of “F.” For a complete policy and procedure overview on Valencia Policy, 4-07 please go to: http://valenciacc.edu/generalcounsel/policydetail.cfm?RecordID=75 .
D. Electronic Devices
We ask that there be no cell phones or audible beepers in class. These are very disruptive. The exception would be for an emergency situation that was explained to the professor before class.
E. Office for Students with Disabilities
“Students with disabilities who qualify for academic accommodations must provide a
Notification to Instructor (NTI) form from the Office for Students with Disabilities
(OSD) and discuss specific needs with the professor, preferably during the first two
weeks of class. The Office for Students with Disabilities determines accommodations
based on appropriate documentation of disabilities.”
