10. AUDIO OR VIDEO RECORDING OF CLASS:
Except where a student is entitled to make an audio or video recording of class lectures and discussions as an educational accommodation determined through the student’s interactive process with college disability services, a student may not record lectures or classroom discussions unless written permission from the class instructor has been obtained and all students in the class as well as guest speakers have been informed that audio/video recording may occur. A student granted permission to record may use the recording only for his or her own study and may not publish or post the recording on YouTube or any other medium or venue without the instructor’s explicit written authorization.
Please contact college disability services at 719.549.3446 if you require an educational accommodation.
11. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Pueblo Community College is committed to providing a superior educational experience for all students who attend the college. Academic integrity and honesty in all educational classrooms and programs are critical in providing this high level of education. Academic dishonesty is any form of cheating which results in students giving or receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise or receiving credit for work which is not their own. For a complete definition of academic dishonesty, see the PCC Student Handbook.
It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Academic misbehaviors may have additional College disciplinary sanctions imposed through the Office of Dean of Student Success by the Director of Student Judicial Affairs. Disciplinary sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, or expulsion from the college. Academic sanctions may include failure of the course or the assignment. In limited-entry programs, a student may be dismissed from the program for academic dishonesty. Students may receive both disciplinary and academic sanctions.
12. DISABILITY STATEMENT:
Students who have a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations for this class. Please contact the Disability Resources Center at 719.549.3446 for further information.
13. WITHDRAWAL/ATTENDANCE POLICY:
PCC has instituted the following policy on class withdrawals. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate all withdrawals (from a course or the college) after meeting with their instructor. After meeting with their instructor, students should contact the financial aid office, and initiate the process electronically or go to the college “Go!Zone” for assistance. Faculty will not withdraw students for lack of attendance but issue the appropriate grade earned by the student at the end of the semester. Departments are expected to maintain clear attendance policies at the course/program level and convey those standards to students.
PCC-DEH BAS Online Attendance/Assignment Policy
A student will be identified as a “no-show” and dropped from the course if they have not completed required weekly assigned academic activities between the start of the course and the census date, which is usually within one week. Such activities may include taking online tests, submitting assignments through the digital DropBox or discussion tool, and participating in an online discussion about academic matters.
Failure to complete the weekly assignments in any course module will result in an absence. In addition, all assignments turned in after the due date and time will receive a zero.
