Collusion mean the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit or using cell
phone during testing. Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of 0 or F in the particular assignment,
failure in the course, and/or recommendation for probation or dismissal from the College System. (See the Student Handbook)
HCC Policy Statements Attendance Class Attendance - It is important that you come to class! Attending class regularly is the best way to succeed in this class.
Research has shown that the single most important factor in student success is attendance. Simply put, going to class greatly
increases your ability to succeed. You are expected to be on time at the beginning of each class period. For complete information
regarding Houston Community College’s policies on attendance, please refer to the Student Handbook. You are responsible for
materials covered during your absences. Class attendance is checked daily. Although it is your responsibility to drop a course for
nonattendance, the instructor has the authority to drop you for excessive absences.
If you are not attending class, you are not learning the information. As the information that is discussed in class is important for
your career, students may be dropped from a course after accumulating absences in excess of six (6) hours of instruction.
The six hours of class time would include any total classes missed or for excessive tardiness or leaving class early.
You may decide NOT to come to class for whatever reason. As an adult making the decision not to attend, you do not have to
notify the instructor prior to missing a class. However, if this happens too many times, you may suddenly find that you have
“lost” the class.
Poor attendance records tend to correlate with poor grades. If you miss any class, including the first week, you are responsible for
all material missed. It is a good idea to find a friend or a buddy in class who would be willing to share class notes or discussion or
be able to hand in your work if you unavoidably miss a class
You are required to log into Canvas and Connect|Math at least three times a week to check out
class materials, updated assignment due dates, or any class announcement. Important: If you
failed to log into Canvas until Dec 20th, 2017, you may be dropped from the class immediately.
HCC Course Withdrawal Policy
If you feel that you cannot complete this course, you will need to withdraw from the course prior to the final date of withdrawal.
Before, you withdraw from your course; please take the time to meet with the instructor to discuss why you feel it is necessary to
do so. The instructor may be able to provide you with suggestions that would enable you to complete the course. Your success is
very important. Beginning in fall 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law limiting first time entering freshmen to no more than
SIX total course withdrawals throughout their educational career in obtaining a certificate and/or degree.
To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC has instituted an Early Alert process by which your
professor may “alert” you and HCC counselors that you might fail a class because of excessive absences and/or poor academic
performance. It is your responsibility to visit with your professor or a counselor to learn about what, if any, HCC interventions
might be available to assist you – online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc. – to stay in class and improve your
academic performance.
If you plan on withdrawing from your class, you MUST contact a HCC counselor or your professor prior to withdrawing
(dropping) the class for approval and this must be done PRIOR to the withdrawal deadline to receive a “W” on your transcript.
**Final withdrawal deadlines vary each semester and/or depending on class length, please visit the online registration calendars,
HCC schedule of classes and catalog, any HCC Registration Office, or any HCC counselor to determine class withdrawal
deadlines. Remember to allow a 24-hour response time when communicating via email and/or telephone with a professor
Page 11 of 13
and/or counselor. Do not submit a request to discuss withdrawal options less than a day before the deadline. If you do not
withdraw before the deadline, you will receive the grade that you are making in the class as your final grade. The last day to
withdraw with a grade of W is 01/04/2018.
Repeat Course Fee
The State of Texas encourages students to complete college without having to repeat failed classes. To increase student success,
students who repeat the same course more than twice, are required to pay extra tuition. The purpose of this extra tuition fee is to
encourage students to pass their courses and to graduate. Effective fall 2006, HCC will charge a higher tuition rate to students
registering the third or subsequent time for a course. If you are considering course withdrawal because you are not earning
passing grades, confer with your instructor/counselor as early as possible about your study habits, reading and writing homework,
test taking skills, attendance, course participation, and opportunities for tutoring or other assistance that might be available.
Instructor Requirements
As your instructor, I will do my best to help you learn. So, if you find yourself falling behind please
contact me by email or in person to discuss your options in class. It is your responsibility to drop
yourself from class before the final drop date (Jan 04th, 2018). Students are expected and required to
read and understand the policies contained in this syllabus. Students are expected to pace themselves
carefully so that they will be ready for their scheduled exams and have their homework finished by the
due dates. Email me with your questions and I will respond within a 24-48-hour period. If you do not
get a response, please email me again and I may not have received your prior email for some reason.
You are required to log into Canvas and Connect|Math at least five times a week to check out
class materials, updated assignment due dates, or any class announcement and to do your
homework. Important: If you failed to log into Canvas or failed to register for Connect | Math
by Dec 20th, 2017, you may be dropped from the class immediately.

Financial Aid Access Code Activation and Extension Steps for Students
After requesting a Financial Aid Access Code (FAAC), instructors should provide the FAAC, course code, and activation instructions below to students who are experiencing financial aid delays. The FAAC does not add an additional two weeks to a stud ent’s account. The start date of the account will be the date the student first activated the FAAC and NOT when the account was extended with the purchased code. Students will activate the Financial Aid Access Code by visiting http://www.connectmath.com and clicking on the "Sign up Now! " link located under “NEW USER?” Next, students will verify that they are registering for the correct course by checking the course name, subject, instructor, and school details. Then, they click on "Continue ." Students will then enter the 20-character Financial Aid Access Code provided. Students will continue with the registration process until their accounts have been set up successfully. After completing the account set up, they will be l ogged into Connect and can immediately begin working in the course. *It is highly recommended that students purchase a regular Student Access Code before the two-week temporary access expires to avoid any delays or interruptions with their ALEKS accounts.
Student will enter the Course Code provided by the instructor and click on "Continue ."

After students activate the FAAC, they will see an expiration warning when they log into ALEKS. The warning will show the date that access to the Student Account will expire (two weeks after the student activated the FAAC). Students can extend their accounts any time before the expiration date by clicking on “extend your account” and entering a purchased Student Access Code.
When the FAAC expires, a student will no longer have access to the Student Account. The student will need to purchase a regular Student Access Code and click on the “Extend your account” button to enter the purchased access code.
Students do NOT need to create a new ALEKS account to continue their course.
