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].
