Progress Report Grades

Any student with a weighted grade average currently below 60% will be graded as unsatisfactory on the Mid-Semester Progress Report.

Passing the Course

To pass this course you must have a total average of 60% or more.

Late Submission Policy

If you fail to meet the deadline for handing in an assignment, you will receive a 10% penalty for each day your work is late. So for example, if you hand in your work two days late, you will have 20% deducted from your mark. Work submitted 4 days or more after the deadline will receive “0”.

If you have a valid reason why you cannot submit your work on time, you must see the supervisor as soon as possible.

HCT Attendance Policy

You must participate fully in all learning activities, be on time and be ready for activities of the classes. Absence beyond 10% in any class may result in a failing grade and dismissal from the college. (HCT Student Code of Conduct)

AAWC Attendance Procedures

1. When a student reaches 5% absence in any class she will be notified by email and not allowed to attend any further classes until she makes an appointment with the Department Chair to discuss the situation. The student is encouraged to meet with her counselor to discuss any problems that might contribute to her absences. The student’s guardian is contacted to advise of the situation and the consequences of further absence.

2. When a student reaches 10% absence a final warning is sent by email advising that further absence will result in dismissal.

3. When a student is absent after the 10% warning she is withdrawn from college and not allowed to attend any more classes. She will be asked to meet with the Department Chair to discuss the Appeals Process.

4. If a student who has been dismissed for attendance reasons believes there are extenuating circumstances she may appeal to the College Director for reinstatement. She must meet with the Student Services Officer to discuss the Appeals Process which includes submission of any relevant documentation related to her absence. The student’s guardian is expected to be present at the Appeals Meeting with the College Director.

Notes

  1. If a student misses classes for illness or other valid reasons she should submit documentation to the Administrative Assistant for the Department Chair. This does not excuse the absence which will still count toward 10%, but may be used in an Appeals Process if a student is dismissed for attendance reasons.

  2. Students should avoid absence whenever possible. Non-emergency appointments should be scheduled outside of class time.

  3. According to HCT Attendance Policy 3 lates equals one absence. Students arriving to class more than 10 minutes late will be considered absent for that lesson.

  4. If a student is absent for any assessment activity (exam, quiz, presentation etc.) she must meet with the Department Chair to get permission to make it up. If a student does not have a valid reason for this absence she may be given 0 for the assessment.

  5. Students are expected to attend all assessments on the date and time specified.

  6. A student who knows she will be late or absent from any assessment should inform the supervisor in advance of the assessment by email or by phone, leaving a message if necessary.

  7. The student should report to the supervisor immediately upon arrival at the college.

  8. Documentation supporting the application, such as a medical certificate or police report, should be submitted to the supervisor within two working days of return to the college.

Doing Your Own Work

It is good that students help each other in regular classes. Individual assignments should, however, be all your own work. If, in the opinion of both your instructor and your supervisor, an assignment is copied, completely or in part, everyone involved in the copying will be given zero.

College policy concerning cheating in exams and tests is given in the Student Handbook and you are advised to read it.

Academic Honesty

Breaches of Academic Honesty will be treated with the utmost seriousness. You are reminded the penalty for cheating or plagiarism is dismissal from HCT. It’s better to score zero than be caught cheating.
