1. Students are expected to attend all class sessions. A student may not attend a course that he/she is not enrolled in, including after being dropped from enrollment.

2. It is student’s responsibility to contact instructor if absent due to illness or extenuating circumstances (2+ absences). Student is responsible for acquiring notes and handouts from text and fellow students when he/she has missed class, including late arrival or leaving early.

3. If student misses more than 10% of class time, student will be considered absent for that day.  Therefore if 30 min. of this 305 minute class is missed, student is marked absent.

4. A student may be dropped for excessive absences when one or more absences than the number of class hours per week (4) have occurred. A student may not drop a class after the 12^th week of class. After the 12^th week, student may not receive a “W” but ONLY a letter grade. Student is responsible for processing drop paperwork.

5. Three tardy arrivals equals one absence.

1.

Students at Santa Ana College are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. To falsify the results of one’s research, to steal the works or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination, corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced. Academic dishonesty is seen as an intentional act of fraud, in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work or efforts of another without authorization, or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic exercise. As institutions, SAC also considers academic dishonesty to include forgery of academic documents, intentionally impeding or damaging the academic work of others, assisting other students in acts of dishonesty or coercing students into acts of dishonesty.

In cases where a violation of academic honesty is discovered, the instructor will file an “Academic Misconduct Incident Report” form and distribute the form to the appropriate offices listed on the form. Once the student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, said student may not withdraw from the course to receive the grade of “W”. Honesty means that all graded work is by only student who submitted work, and student represents self & work honestly.

2.

Defiance of college rules will not be tolerated. Student will be suspended from class and will be required to report to the Associate Dean of Student Development.

3.

Defiance of classroom rules will not be tolerated. Classroom Rules include:

·         No student is to cheat (or to help another student cheat), lie, forge, fraud, plagiarize/copy damage college/instructional/classmate’s property or steal. Stealing/theft includes tests, samples, books, garments, equipment removal from classroom.

·         Samples and books to stay on central table for all to share.

·         No student is allowed to use/take: instructional lecture/demonstration materials and set-up, classroom keys, cabinet items, nor touch or look through instructor’s materials (grade/attendance book, lecture notes, exams/quizzes, hand bags etc.).

·         No student is allowed to damage, take, use or remove any materials belonging to fellow students.

·         No student is allowed to disrupt instructor/classmates with yelling, extra demand of time, threats, slander, detain instructor, assault or have drugs or weapons.

A student not complying with classroom rules will be graded a “zero” on the project in progress and might be suspended from class. A student under suspension might be required to report to the Associate Dean of Student Development. Instructor’s time dealing with this non-compliance of classroom rules can be deducted from that student’s “turn” time.

4.

When instructor feels threatened by a student, the instructor will require future conversations to be with a dean or coordinator as a third party witness and there will be NO alone time with that student. At instructor’s discretion, conversations will be recorded with prior knowledge and consent of all parties involved in the recording.

5.

Students are expected to properly/safely use and care for classroom equipment and property. Students are also responsible to clean up 10 minutes prior to the end of each class session and to ensure return of classroom equipment/items (including bobbin cases, sergers, rulers, dress forms etc.) before the end of class. Clean-up includes: removing marker mishaps, white-out, tape, food and/or liquid stains, trash on tables and stains/burns on irons. Work area/lab needs to be cleared and vacated by class end If not vacated after more than 5 minutes after class end, the SAC Campus Security can be called.
