Hepatitis B vaccine is available to all age groups to prevent Hepatitis B viral infection. A series of three (3) doses of vaccine are required for optimal protection. Missed doses may still be sought to complete the series if only one or two have been acquired. The HBV vaccine has a record of safety and is believed to confer lifelong immunity in most cases.

Welcome to Walters State Community College!And congratulations on the start of your college career.

You will experience a variety of differences in the college setting compared to your high school experience. Below are comparisons important to students with disabilities.

In high school…Education is an entitlement.

Accommodations are governed byIndividuals with Disabilities Act: IDEA and

Section 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

IDEA is focused on success.

Students needing services are identifiedby the school. The school can and mostoften initiates the process of eligibility

and service provision.

School systems provide evaluations fordetermining eligibility at no cost to

the student.

Accommodations are outlined in anIndividualized Education Plan (IEP)

or Section 504 Plan.

Teachers take responsibility forimplementing the Individualized

Education Plan (IEP).

High schools can modify academicrequirements such as required

curriculum and grading.

Parents have access to student recordsand often participate in theaccommodation process.

In college…Education is a choice.

Accommodations are governed byAmericans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Title

11: ADA and Section 504,Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

ADA is focused on access.Success is not guaranteed.

Students must request accommodationsthrough the office of Disability Services.

The student must initiate the processof obtaining accommodations.

Documenting disability is up to thestudent and is at their own expense.

Walters State does not provide evaluations.

At Walters State, accommodations areoutlined in an

Education Support Plan (ESP).

Students are responsible for seeing thatan Educational Support Plan (ESP)

is implemented.

Colleges are not required to alter anyessential course requirements or

adjust assignment deadlines.

Parents do not have access to student records. Disabilities Services staff do not

communicate with parents about thestudent without the student present.

Dual Enrollment Attendance RegulationsAttendance at classes and other official appointments is required. A student’s schedule is considered an agree-ment and constitutes a series of obligated appointments. Attendance is also mandatory for those students who are eligible for the Dual Enrollment Grant. Those who are marked as “Never Attending” at the start of the se-mester are subject to the removal of those funds as aid.

Absences are counted from the first scheduled meeting of the class. An explanation for the cause of all absences should be provided to the respective instructor. Students must inform instructors in advance of planned absences.

Dual Enrollment (DE) Students who may miss class due to an event hosted at their high school (i.e., sporting event, presentations, etc.) must notify their professor ahead of time and follow those specific instructions that are documented in their respective course syllabus. Students will also be required to present documentation of these events from their high school principal, counselor, or other school administration.

Students should log into eLearn regularly to remain up-to-date with all course content and communication with their instructor(s).

Concerning weather-related closings, if a DE student attends courses on a Walters State campus, the student is expected to follow the policies set by Walters State, as stated in the Student Handbook. Additionally, those students who attend evening courses on off-campus sites will also follow this policy. WSCC faculty teaching on the high school campus will maintain the regular class schedule in the event of weather related delays/closings and/or special events.

Those high school students enrolled in web-based courses will follow the Walters State college calendar con-cerning all important dates and closings.

The most accurate source for all information pertaining to weather-related closings and other schedule changes will be the Walters State website. Changes in or cancellation of classes will also be announced on the following stations:

Morristown WCRK AM 1150, WMTN AM 1300, WJDT FM 106.5, WBGQ FM 100.7Newport WLIK AM 1270, WNPC AM 1060Knoxville WIVK FM 107.7, WNOX FM 100.3, WATE-TV (ABC), WBIR-TV (NBC), WVLT-TV (CBS)

WIMZ FM 103.5, WOKI FM 98.8Harrogate WLMU FM 91.3, WCXZ AM 740Greeneville WGRV AM 1340, WIKQ FM 103.1, WSMG AM 1450Rogersville WRGS FM 94.5, WEYE FM 104.3Sevierville WSEV FM 105.5Tazewell WNTT AM 1250Tri Cities WKPT-TV (ABC), WTFM FM 98.5, WJHL-TV (CBS)

Students are also encouraged to enroll in the Senators Emergency Text (SET) System to receive SMS text mes-sages for college closings, schedule changes, and other college-related emergencies.

IMPORTANT: Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal from classes or from the college. Pro-cedures to formally drop a course or to withdraw from the college must be followed. Following these procedures may prevent students from receiving an undeserved “F” on their transcript.

Students who wish to withdraw or be removed from a course at any time prior to or during the semes-ter must notify the WS Division of Distance Education through written notification from themselves and their guidance counselor to be removed from their requested course.
