the services of the tutors.
Withdrawal:
Students may officially withdraw from a course(s) during any given
term provided the appropriate policy and procedure is followed.
Following the conclusion of the Drop/Add period, the student may
officially withdraw without penalty from any credit course provided
the appropriate forms are submitted to Student Services no later
than the deadline published in the term schedule booklet. (The
published deadline reflects the midpoint in the course based upon
the course’s scheduled duration.) It is
the student’s responsibility to submit these withdrawal forms.
Failure to do so may result in an “F” in the course.
Attendance:
Attendance in class is essential.
Regular attendance is the student's
responsibility. If a student has excessive absences (more than 3
hours), he/she may be dropped from the course with a "W" grade
before the withdrawal date. After the withdrawal date, a student may
receive an "F" grade for the course for excessive absences (more
than 3 hours accumulated since the beginning of the term).
Work Missed:
It is the student’s responsibility to arrange with the
instructor to make up missed tests and/or assignments. All
assignments MUST be completed according to the due dates.
Late assignments are subject to a penalty.
Repeating a Course:
Under the Forgiveness Policy, a student is allowed three attempts in
any one college credit course: one initial enrollment and two
repeats. A course cannot be repeated unless the previously earned
grade is a “D,” “F,” or “W.” (See college catalog for details.)
PCC Standards:
Students are responsible for their own work. It is assumed that
each student is honest and will abide by that standard. However, in
the event there is an indication or suspicion that there has been a
case of cheating/plagiarism, the situation will be dealt with in
accordance with published College policy. Copies of this policy are
available in Student Services offices.
