Evaluation

Course Policies

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.

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 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.

Withdrawals When it is necessary to withdraw from a course or from the college, a student may do so on or before the withdrawal date without receiving a punitive final grade. Students should use Change of Schedule forms which are available in Student Services. Students may submit Change of Schedule forms to Student Services or through the mail, but they must be postmarked no later than the withdrawal date. July 8th No withdrawals are allowed by phone. To determine the last date to withdraw with a grade of “W” in this course, log into KCConnect and click on “my registration statement” under Academic Profile.

Students need to adhere to the Code of Conduct located in the college catalog.

To ensure a student's privacy under all applicable education laws and to facilitate timely interactions, two College-authorized methods of electronic communication exist: KCC-issued student email accounts (using the domain name of .student.kcc.edu) and the Canvas Learning Management System. Students are expected to regularly check their KCC email accounts and Canvas for important incoming communication from the college or from individual instructors. Students understand that emails they send from personal email accounts (other than those listed above) may not be delivered to the KCC recipient, and students should have no expectation that such messages will be answered.
