HCC Policy Statement: Sexual Misconduct Houston Community College is committed to cultivating an environment free from inappropriate conduct of a sexual or gender-based nature including sex discrimination, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. Sex discrimination includes all forms of sexual and gender-based misconduct and violates an individual’s fundamental rights and personal dignity. Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex-including pregnancy and parental status-in educational programs and activities. If you require accommodation due to pregnancy please contact an Abilities Services Counselor. The Director of EEO/Compliance is designated as the Title IX Coordinator and Section 504 Coordinator.

HCC Policy Statement: Accommodations Due to a Qualified Disability

HCCS recognizes its responsibility to not discriminate against anyone who has a documented disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities; has a record of such impairment; or is regarded as having an impairment. Specific policies enable students with documented disabilities who are otherwise qualified, to request accommodations, which would allow them equal access to the College under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Obtaining reasonable accommodations is an interactive process. It begins with the student’s disclosure of his/her disability directly with the ADA Counselor in Ability Services, which is located in room 101 of the Learning Success Center (LSC). The ADA Counselor may also be reached by phone at (713) 718-7376.

Failure to demonstrate 100% competency may result in a failing grade for the skill and may result in failure of the course and/or dismissal from the program. Attendance in all skills lab procedural classes is a must. Make-up for missed skills competencies is not an option. Lab attire Appropriate uniform dress attire is required at all times in the MDCA Laboratory. Please see the MDCA student handbook for more information. This includes scrubs, lab coat, white socks or hose, basic white (little color) leather closed-toe shoes or walking athletic shoes and student identification badge Hair grooming and personal hygiene is a must for all students. No loop earrings, no body piercings, no tongue piercings or visible tattoos are allowed. The only jewelry allowed is a wedding/engagement ring and a pair of 5mm stud earrings.

HCC MDCA Program uses the following grading system: 90 - 100 = A 4 points per semester hour 80 - 89 = B 3 points per semester hour 75 - 79 = C 2 points per semester hour 70 - 74 = D 1 point per semester hour Below 69 = F 0 points per semester hour FX (Failure due to non-attendance) 0 points per semester hour IP (in Progress) 0 points per semester hour W (withdrawn) 0 points per semester hour I (Incomplete) 0 points per semester hour AUD (Audit) 0 points per semester hour

IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit.

COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses.

To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours

attempted. The grades "IP,"W", “AUD”, “COM" and "I" do not affect GPA. Incompletes The grade of “I” (Incomplete) is conditional. A student receiving and “I” must arrange with the instructor to complete the course work within six months of the end of the incomplete term. After the deadline, the “I” becomes and “F”. Upon completion of the coursework, the graded will be entered as I/grade on the student transcript. All “I”s must be changed to grades prior to graduation.

Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales may differ from the approved HCC Grading Scale. For Health Sciences Programs Grading Scales, seethe "Program Discipline” Requirement section of the program syllabi.

Your instructor will conduct quizzes, exams, and assessments that you can use to determine how successful you are at achieving the course learning outcomes (mastery of course content and skills) outlined in the syllabus. If you find you are not mastering the material and skills, you are encouraged to reflect on how you study and prepare for each class. Your instructor welcomes a dialogue on what you discover and may be able to assist you in finding resources on campus that will improve your performance. Make-up policy: It is the student’s responsibility to consult with the instructor for any make-up assignments. The instructor is not required to provide any make-up assignments. All or any make- up work is at the discretion of the individual instructor. There will be only one make-up test allowed. Any student absent from a major exam, test or quiz must contact the instructor and schedule a make-up exam to be taken before the next class meeting. No contact from the student will result in grade of zero for the exam. Midterm and final exams must be taken at the designated time scheduled. There is no makeup for midterm or final skill competencies. If late to class and up to 24 hours late, students will receive a 25 point deduction on their total score for that days assignments. 2 days late will receive a 50% deduction. Three days late will receive a 75 point deduction. No late work will be accepted after 3 days. If a student comes to class without having course work for the day completed, they will be required to complete the assignment during class and will not be able to participate in the class activities during this time. This will result in a zero for class participation for the day. GENERAL COURSE OBJECTIVES FOR MDCA 1417 (Cognitive Domain)
