Student Assessment(s) Instructor's Requirements Class attendance records are maintained each day as class begins. Students who enter the classroom more than ½ hour after class has begun and/or leave the classroom ½ hour prior to the completion of class will be counted absent on that day. Students who are late to class but less than ½ hour late will be responsible for contacting their instructor to prevent being marked as absent on that day. Also, students who are less than ½ hour late will be marked tardy on days they are not in their seats when class begins. Three tardies will count as an additional absence. A student may be dropped from a course after accumulating absences in excess of 12.5% (8 hours) of the total hours of instruction (lecture and lab).

Students absent at the time when a major exam or class quiz is given will have NO MAKE-UP EXAMINATION. This also includes a student who comes to class late. Student will not be allowed to take exams at a later time during the class. All exams will have time periods designated therefore all test papers must be terminated at the end of that time period. This policy is absolutely necessary in order to carry out all laboratory activities in the given time period and allow for fairness to all students present. Any student absent from the classroom for a major scheduled exam will have the percent (%) value of that exam added to the percent value of the FINAL EXAM. All class assignments are to be completed and turned in at the beginning of the next class. A student will lose 10 points on an assignment if the assignment is not turned in at the beginning of the next class and will lose 10 additional points a day (not including weekends) until the assignment is submitted. Final examinations must be taken on the day and time designated by the instructor, unless there is a personal illness, accident or death in the immediate family (parent, child, brother, sister, spouse or grandparent). In the event any of these occur, the student must call and speak personally with the instructor or department head on the day of the examination. The student must provide documented evidence of the reason for missing the examination: doctor's statement in the case of personal illness, an accident report in the case of an accident, or obituary or funeral program in the case of death in the immediate family. This documentation must be provided prior to taking a make-up final examination. The make-up final must be taken within 7 working days from the original test date or at the discretion of the instructor. In the case of a severe injury or long term illness, the student will be given an "I", incomplete, until the final examination is
taken. An "I" will automatically turn into an "F" if the student does not take the examination by the end of the following term (excluding Summer). A student may not register for the next semester's nuclear medicine technology courses, if they have an incomplete in any of their nuclear medicine technology courses. If notification on the day of a missed final examination to the involved instructor/department head by the student is not made, a student will receive a 0 for their final exam grade and course's final grade will be calculated as prescribed in the individual course syllabi. Also, if documented evidence as described in the preceding paragraph is not provided, a student will receive a 0 on their final examination. HCC Grading Scale A = 100-90 B = 89-80: C = 79-70: D = 69-60: 4 points per semester hour 3 points per semester hour 2 points per semester hour 1 point per semester hour 59 and below = F IP (In Progress) W(Withdrawn) I (Incomplete) AUD (Audit) IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA.

A 1681 ET. SEQ. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires that institutions have policies and procedures that protect students rights with regard to sex/gender discrimination. Information regarding these rights are on the HCC website under Students-Anti-discrimination. Students who are pregnant and require accommodations should contact any of the ADA Counselors for assistance. It is important that every student understands and conforms to respectful behavior while at HCC. Sexual misconduct is not condoned and will be addressed promptly.
