Attendance policy
Class attendance is
important.
Students who are auditing the
course should attend the classes
DROP/AUDIT POLICY
NOTE: The deadline for
withdrawing from a course or changing to an audit for the spring 2010 semester
is Monday, April 12, 2010. Failure to officially withdraw from a
class you have stopped attending may result in an "F" grade. The
SIMON online system is unavailable after the first day of classes, and as such,
an official change of schedule form must be completed and processed by the
Records and Registration office for any schedule changes.
Course Repeat Policy
The policy on
repeated courses, as the 2006-2007 CCBC online catalog states, is as follows:
“Students may be restricted from registering for a course for a third or
subsequent attempt. When a student repeats a course, only the higher grade is
computed into the Quality Point Average (QPA). All grades will remain on a
student's transcript. Before a student is permitted to register for a course
for a third or subsequent attempt, the student must have the permission of the
academic dean (or his/her designee) responsible for the course. If the course
is developmental, the student's record must be reviewed by a support team,
which will make a recommendation to the dean regarding registration.”
Please note: The instructor does
not have the authority to grant permission to register for a third attempt at
the course.
Disabled Students
In accordance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act, CCBC is committed to providing an
environment that is conducive to learning for all students. Any student who is disabled and requires

Code of Academic Integrity
For the College to make its maximum
contribution as an institution of high learning, the entire college community must
uphold high standards of integrity, honesty, and ethical behavior. In seeking the truth, in learning to
think critically, and in preparing for a life of constructive service, honesty
is imperative. Each student has a
responsibility to submit work that is uniquely his or her own, or to provide
clear and complete acknowledgement of the use of work attributable to
others. To these ends, the
following actions are expected of students:
·
Complete
all work on exams without assistance.
·
Follow
the professor’s instructions when completing all class assignments.
·
Ask for
clarification when instructions are not clear.
·
Report
to the instructor any unauthorized information related to an exam.
·
Provide
proper credit when quoting or paraphrasing.
·
Submit
only one’s own work.
Students who do not accept responsibility for
the integrity of their own work will experience sanctions, including a written
reprimand, failure of the assignment, failure of the course, and/or dismissal
from the program. For repeat and extreme
offenses, the College reserves the right to suspend or expel students.
Writing Policy
The College recognizes that clear, correct,
and concise use of language is characteristic of an educated person. Therefore, whenever possible, faculty
members in all disciplines should require written assignments in their courses
in order to encourage effective writing by their students. Also, instructors should consider the
quality of writing in determining a grade for a written assignment. Poor writing can be a sufficient cause
for a failing grade on a paper and, in extreme cases, a failing grade in a
course.
Inclement Weather/Emergency Closing Policy
In the event that
the college (or a specific campus) opens late due to weather-related or other
emergency conditions, classes will commence at the announced opening time and
resume the normal schedule thereafter for the remainder of the day. Faculty, students, and classified
staff should report to wherever they would normally have been at the announced
opening time. **
Students and
faculty engaged in field placement programs (such as internships, clinical
placements, etc.) should discuss the handling of emergency situations at the
beginning of the placement period.
Both the requirements of the program and the safety of persons involved
should be considered in planning a course of action in those cases where
students are expected to report to off-campus locations.
** For example, if
you had a class that began at 9:35 and the college opened at 10:00 because of
snow, you would report to your 9:35 class at 10:00.
When the college closes because of severe
weather or emergency conditions, announcements of class cancellations are made
on local radio and television stations and the college website (www.ccbcmd.edu). Closings and delays will also be
recorded on the campus weather lines:

of CARE©

Major Religious Holiday Policy
Students not

given the opportunity, to the maximum extent possible, to make up, within a
reasonable amount of time, any academic work or tests they miss. Arrangements
between the student and the faculty member(s) for the student to make up missed
assignments or tests must be made
in advance of the religious holiday, at the initiation of the student.
