Withdrawal Policy:
The State of Texas imposes penalties on students who drop courses excessively. Students are limited to no more than SIX total course withdrawals throughout their educational career at a Texas public college or university. 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 Distance Education (DE) counselors that you might fail a class because of excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. Contact your DE professor regarding your academic performance or a DE counselor to learn about helpful HCC resources (e.g. online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc.). In order to withdraw from your DE class, you apply before the withdrawal date. After the withdrawal deadline has passed, you will receive the grade that you would have earned. Zeros averaged in for required coursework not submitted will lower your semester average significantly, most likely resulting in a failing grade of an “F”. It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw from the class; however, your professor reserves the right to withdraw you without your request due to excessive absences. If you do not feel comfortable contacting your professor to withdraw, you may contact a DE counselor. However, please do not contact both a DE counselor and your DE professor to request a withdrawal; either one is sufficient. The final withdrawal deadline for each term is available. Classes of other duration (mini-term, flex-entry, 8-weeks, second starts, regular starts, etc.) may have different final withdrawal deadlines. Please review HCC’s online “Academic Calendars by Term” or contact the HCC Registrar’s Office at 713.718.8500 to determine class withdrawal deadlines.
Academic Integrity and Code of Conduct:
In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or misrepresentation, a faculty member will take disciplinary action including but not limited to: requiring the student to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions, including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school, may be imposed on a student who violates the code of conduct and discipline.
Students who repeat a course three or more times may soon face significant tuition/fee
increases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please ask your
instructor counselor about opportunities for tutoring/other assistance prior to
considering course withdrawal, or if you are not receiving passing grades.
