ATTENDANCE: Regular attendance at all scheduled class sessions is expected. If a student has missed more class hours than the number of credit hours to be earned in the class, the instructor may record the grade of “F” for the course. Failure of the student to attend class does not constitute withdrawal. The student must make a formal written withdrawal through the Office of Admissions and Records. . Attendance is taken at the beginning and end of class. Attendance for the entire class period is mandatory. If you know you will not be in class, the student must inform the instructor prior to that class. Informing the instructor does not excuse the absence it only gives you the right to make it up. The student will have two weeks from the date of absence to make up that class at the convenience of the instructor; no makeup will be accepted after 2 weeks and a “0” will be recorded for that session. Makeup work must be done at the mutually scheduled time agreed upon between the student and instructor.
LAB MAKEUP & ADDITIONAL LAB TIME POLICY: Students will not be allowed to work in lab spaces outside of enrolled class times without prior approval or consent of instructor/program coordinator and under direct supervision of instructor/program coordinator. Additionally, students must email a summary to instructor including date and time spent in lab outside of the scheduled class time and what projects/objectives were attempted and what was accomplished. This must be received by the instructor within 24 hours of completion. If this is not done the student will receive a grade of “0” for the class session. No secondary makeups are allowed.
TARDINESS: Points will be heavily deducted from the student’s grades if the student arrives in class any time after the scheduled class time; Down to and including “0” points for that day. Late Is Late
IT IS MANDATORY THAT ALL WELDING STUDENTS WEAR JEANS AND WORK BOOTS TO EVERY CLASS AND HAVE ALL REQUIRED EQUIPMENT WITH THEM.
WELDING LAB PRACTICES: It is expected that all students will clean up their personal workspace, any equipment he/she used and surrounding areas prior to leaving the lab. Clean up and personal productivity is mandatory and will be reflected in the Lab Practices & Weld grade. No practice welds will be accepted by the instructor prior to clean up. Open toe shoes of any kind are not acceptable in any areas of the welding lab at any time. It is at the instructor’s discretion to remove any student from class that does not have the proper personal protection equipment and that class would be considered an unexcused absence. Any intentional disregard for personal safety of the students, or any person in the lab, is subject for immediate removal from the class. The use of cell phones or ear buds cannot be allowed in any Class room or lab at any time. Use of these will be considered a safety violation and will result in a “0” for that class.
