Class Attendance

• Regular attendance at all scheduled class sessions is expected.
• There are NO excused absences.
• To receive full class attendance points, you must not be late or leave early.
• Attending a different section of the class is permitted.
  • However, you are not guaranteed:
    1. Workstation/desk
    2. Computer
    3. Test/quiz
• Reading assignments are indicated on the schedule and should be finished before the topic is covered in class.
• Some important information provided during the lecture does not appear in your textbook, but you will find it useful for completing your labs, quizzes or tests. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain handouts and information presented for any class for which he/she is absent.
• If a student misses four or more classes in one semester or greater than 20 hours of class time, he/she will receive an automatic “F”.

Non-Attendance/Non-Participation

KCC complies with state law and federal financial aid policy. If you receive an attendance grade of F or are institutionally withdrawn from a course, it will affect your eligibility for financial aid.

• You must attend at least one class or participate at least once for an online course (logging in without participation is not attending), by the 10th day of 16 week courses or within the first 10% of shorter term classes. Non-attendance will result in an attendance grade of F.
• If you have excessive absences and/or no reasonable chance of passing the course at midterm (or after), your instructor may give you a WX grade and have you institutionally withdrawn from the course.

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 stated on the syllabus without receiving a punitive final grade. Change of Schedule forms (used to add or drop a course) are available in Student Services and the student should obtain the required signatures prior to submitting the Change of Schedule form to an adviser in Student Services. Students may submit Change of Schedule forms through the mail, but they must be postmarked no later than the withdrawal date. 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. https://connect.kcc.edu/

Plagiarism/Academic Dishonesty/Cheating

• KCC defines plagiarism: Representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own. Plagiarism includes claiming credit for assignments completed by someone else. Copying someone else’s CAD file is plagiarism.
• In all academic work, the ideas and contributions of others must be appropriately acknowledged and work that is presented as original must be, in fact, original. Using an ai-content generator (such as CHATGPT) to complete coursework without proper attribution or authorization is a form of academic dishonesty. If you are unsure about whether something may be plagiarism or academic dishonesty, please contact your instructor to discuss the issue.
• First violation will result in a zero for the assignment. The second violation will result in “f” failing of the course.
