All policies, guidelines and procedures in e Student and Faculty Handbook and

4 e Board and Administrative Policy Manuals are applicable to is course Civility Statement Members of e Blinn College community, which includes faculty, staff and students, are expected to act honestly and responsibly in all aspects of campus life. Blinn College holds all members accountable for eir actions and words. Therefore, all members should commit emselves to behave in a manner at recognizes personal respect and demonstrates concern for e personal dignity, rights, and freedoms of every member of e College community, including respect for College property and e physical and intellectual property of oers. Civility Notification Statement. If a student is asked to leave e classroom because of uncivil behavior, e student may not return to at class until he or she arranges a conference wi e instructor; it is e student s responsibility to arrange for is conference. This statement reflects step one in a possible four step process. The Incivility Protocol is detailed in e Blinn College Student Handbook. ( Attendance Policy The College District believes at class attendance is essential for student success; erefore, students are required to promptly and regularly attend all eir classes. A record of attendance will be maintained from e first day of classes and/or e first day e student s name appears on e roster rough final examinations. If a student has one week s wor of unexcused absences during e semester, he or she will be sent an by e College District requiring e student to contact his or her instructor and schedule a conference immediately to discuss his/her attendance issues. Should e student accumulate two weeks wor of unexcused absences, he or she will be administratively widrawn from class. There are four forms of excused absences recognized by e institution: 1. observance of religious holy days The student should notify his or her instructor(s) not later an e 15 day of e semester concerning e specific date(s) at e student will be absent for any religious holy day(s); 2. representing e College District at an official institutional function; 3. high school dual credit students representing e independent school district at an official institutional function; and 4. military service. Oer absences may be considered excused at e discretion of e faculty member wi appropriate documentation. A student enrolled in a developmental course is subject to College District-mandated attendance policies. Failure to attend developmental classes shall result in removal from e course as defined by e College District. It is e student s responsibility to officially drop a class he or she is no longer attending. To officially drop a class e student must obtain e class widrawal form from Enrollment Services, complete e class widrawal form, secure e required signatures, and return e completed form to Enrollment Services. The last day to drop wi a Q is according to e Academic Calendar ( Scholastic Integrity Blinn College does not tolerate cheating, plagiarism, or any oer act of dishonesty wi regard to e course in which you are enrolled. The following text defines e faculty member s responsibility wi regard to e scholastic integrity expectation for is and all courses at Blinn College. It is e responsibility of faculty members to maintain scholastic integrity at e College District by refusing to tolerate any form of scholastic dishonesty. Adequate control of test materials, strict supervision during testing, and oer preventive measures should be utilized, as necessary, to prevent cheating or plagiarism. If ere is compelling evidence at a student is involved in cheating or plagiarism, e instructor should assume responsibility and address e infraction. Likewise, any student accused of scholastic dishonesty is entitled to due process as outlined in Blinn College Board Policy FLB (Local). The Scholastic Integrity Policy is located in e Blinn College Student Handbook. ( In a case of scholastic dishonesty, it is critical at written documentation be maintained at each level roughout e process. Students wi Disabilities Blinn College is dedicated to providing e least restrictive learning environment for all students. Support services

5 for students wi documented disabilities are provided on an individual basis, upon request. Requests for services should be made directly to e Office of Special Populations serving e campus of your choice. For e Bryan campus, e Office of Special Populations (Administration Building) can be reached at (979) The Brenham, Sealy and Schulenburg campuses are served by e Office of Special Populations on e Brenham campus (Administration Building Room 104) and can be reached at (979) Additional information can be found at Final Grade Appeal If a student wishes to appeal a final grade in a course, Blinn College Board Policy FLDB (Local), Course Grade Complaints, outlines e timeline for e appeal and e four steps in e appeal. This policy is located in e Blinn College Student Handbook. ( Electronic Devices Cellular telephones and beepers/pagers must be disengaged while e student is in e Blinn College Library or any classroom/lab, unless oerwise instructed. Any noncompliance wi is policy shall be addressed in accordance wi e College District civility policy (administrative policy). This information is contained in Blinn College Board Policy FLB (Local). Course Policies Attendance Policy Reminder: Missing lecture, lab or bo will count as one absence. For classes at meet twice a week during e spring semester two absences counts as one week's absence. Students accumulating two week s wor of absences (four unexcused absences) will be dropped. Last day to drop classes w/a Q - Spring 2014: Friday April 11 Problem Resolution: If you have a complaint about your class, you should first request a conference wi your instructor to try and resolve e problems or issues. If e problems or issues cannot be resolved at e instructor level, you should request a conference wi e Division Chair, Mr. Dwight Bohlmeyer, Science 241, dbohlmeyer@blinn.edu. Eating and Drinking: Eating and drinking are not allowed in classrooms or laboratories. Safety: Students must wear safety goggles during laboratory experiments. No student will be permitted to work in lab wiout safety goggles.
