Assessment of Student Academic Achievement - Student learning is central
to all that we do at the College. Faculty assess student learning in a variety
of ways, including in-course assessments, portfolios, certification
examinations, employer surveys, transfer studies, and many others. The College
measures its effectiveness through the results of our assessment of student
learning and uses those results to improve student learning.
Students with Disabilities - It is
Tutoring Services - Tutoring services are available for most courses.
These services are provided free of charge. Tutoring is provided by
professional and student tutors. Tutor request cards are located at the
Brinkman Receptionist's desk and in
Course Withdrawal - If for any reason you cannot complete this or any
other course, you must officially withdraw from the class. Even if you never
attend class, if you are officially enrolled in a course, you will receive a grade
for the course unless you complete and submit a drop form with appropriate
signatures to the registrar. If you have not completed all of the work, that
grade can only be an F. Drop forms are available in the division office, in the
counseling office, or from the registrar.
After midterm, you must have the instructor's permission to withdraw from a
class; therefore, his or her signature must be on the form before you submit it
to the registrar. For the last date to withdraw without the signature of the
instructor, check the quarterly schedule. If you do decide to withdraw from a
class and have any kind of financial aid, you should consult with the financial
aid office prior to the withdrawal to determine what, if any, effect it will
have on your financial aid status.
Incomplete Grade - If you have been progressing satisfactorily in a
course, but for reasons beyond your control (death in family, personal illness,
etc.) you cannot complete all of the requirements for the course, you can
request an incomplete grade (I) from the instructor. If the instructor agrees,
you will work out a mutually agreeable completion schedule. The instructor will
complete a grade change form once the course work is completed. If the grade change is not submitted by the Friday of the fifth
week of the following term (fall for both spring and summer), the grade will
automatically change to an F.
Academic Dishonesty - Using the ideas, expressions, writings, etc., of
another person and representing them as your own is one form of academic
dishonesty and can result in severe penalties, including failure on a project
or in a course. Plagiarism includes not only word-for-word copying but also the
use of the general ideas of another without giving appropriate credit to the
source. Students are responsible for knowing the Law and Order Regulations in
the college catalog.
Children in Classes - Children are not allowed in classes without the
prior approval of the instructor. No children are allowed in lab classrooms or
lab sessions. If permission is granted to bring a child into a class, it is the
parent's responsibility to see that the child in no way disturbs other students
or the class in general. Even after permission is granted, the instructor
always has the right to ask a parent and child to leave a class if any kind of
disruption takes place. Individuals who bring children to the college for any
reason are expected to supervise them at all times.
Student Username/Login ID and Password - Students are provided a
username/login ID and password to access the College's network, Campus Cruiser
and WebCT. The username/login ID is the first five
letters of your last name followed by your first initial followed by the last
four digits of your student identification number. (If your last name is less
than five characters, use your entire last name, first initial, last four
digits.) Do not include any spaces, special characters, or capital letters. The
password is the 7-digit student identification number. The username/login ID
and password are printed on your quarterly schedule/invoice. Secured login
assistance is available at https://www.clarkstate.edu/login.html.
