| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi
State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled
instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must
be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory
meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog).
Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice
president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are
more stringent.
VPT Program: The VPT program believes a more stringent requirement is realistic because of the contractual commitment made by the College with local area employers. Therefore, to successfully complete VPT courses, students must attend at least 85% of classes. To be considered “in attendance”, students are expected to be in class at the scheduled starting time for that class. Students will be considered “tardy” from that time until 10 minutes after the scheduled starting time. Three such “tardies” shall constitute an “absence”. Students arriving any time after 10 minutes beyond the scheduled time for a class will be considered “absent”. |
|||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| In keeping with college-wide policies, the student is expected to adhere to the general rules and regulations relevant to academic and classroom misconduct as outline in the catalog. | |||||||||
| C. Other Policies: | |||||||||
| Any act of misuse, vandalism, malicious or unwarranted damage or destruction, defacing, disfiguring, or unauthorized use of property/equipment belonging to Pellissippi State is subject to disciplinary sanction. | |||||||||
