Assignment Policy:

All assignments are expected to be handed in on the due date at the beginning of class.

10% will be deducted for assignments turned in late. No assignment will be accepted

more than 2 weeks late.

Attendance Policy:

Attendance is taken at the beginning of every class. Students are expected to attend all

class meetings - on time. 3 lates count as an absence. Poor attendance will affect your

final grade.

Academic Integrity Statement:

“A student who, a) knowingly represents work of others as his/her own; b) uses or

obtains unauthorized assistance in the execution of any academic work; or c) gives

fraudulent assistance to another student is guilty of cheating. Violators will be penalized.”

(Student Handbook)

Classroom Conduct Statement:

It is the student’s responsibility to attend all of their classes. If they miss a class meeting

for any reason, students are responsible for all content that is covered, for announcements

made in their absence, and for acquiring any materials that may have been distributed in

class. It is expected that students be on time for all their classes.

Students are expected to follow ordinary rules of courtesy during class sessions.

Engaging in private, side conversations during class time is distracting to other students

and to the instructor. Leaving class early without having informed the instructor prior to

class is not appropriate. Unless there is an emergency, leaving class and returning while

the class is in session is not acceptable behavior. Disruptive behavior of any type,

including sharpening pencils and answering a cell phone during class while someone is

speaking, is not appropriate.

The college welcomes all students into an environment that creates a sense of community

and pride and respect; we are all here to work cooperatively and to learn together.

Reasonable Accommodations for Students with Documented Disabilities

Mercer County Community College is committed to supporting all students in their

academic and co-curricular endeavors. Each semester, a significant number of students

document disabilities, which may require learning, sight, hearing, manual, speech, or

mobility accommodations to ensure access to academic and co-curricular activities. The

college provides services and reasonable accommodations to all students who need and

have a legal entitlement to such accommodations. For more information regarding

accommodations, you may visit the Office of Academic Support Services in FA129 or

contact them at 609.570.3422 or [email protected].
