Attendance Policy

Completed assignments on-time will count as attendance. Students must submit first assignment by due date to avoid being dropped as a “No Show”. Students who do not submit their weekly assignment including chapter quiz by the due date will be marked “absent” and may be dropped from the class for “Excessive Absence”. Excessive Absence is two weeks of nonparticipation by the student. Just logging into Canvas does NOT count as attendance. Students are responsible to drop a class using WebAdvisor. If a student does not drop by the withdrawal date, then a letter grade will be given based on performance. Last date to withdrawal with a “W” grade is on Webadvisor. After that date, you must receive a grade.

Honesty/Integrity Policy

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 words or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination, corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced.

In cases where a violation of academic honesty is discovered, the faculty member is encouraged to file an “Academic Misconduct Incident Report” form and distribute the form to the appropriate offices listed.

There are two categories of sanctions: Limited and College-wide. Limited sanctions include an academic action such as assigning a lower grade or a grade of “F” for the assignment, project, or test. College-wide sanctions include any sanction that will affect a student’s standing with the college at-large, up to and including suspension or expulsion from the College.Refer to the Academic Catalog for more information.     

Computer Lab & Software - SAC Academic Computer Center (ACC) - A-106

 Students may use the SAC Computer Lab in A-106 to complete assignments. If you are behind on assignments or need additional hands-on practice, it is the responsibility of the student to make use of the computer lab as needed. Due dates will not be extended for personal computer/laptop hardware or software issues because the software is available in the ACC. Microsoft Office tutors are available in the ACC.
