General Rules
ALL students are expected to come to class, be prepared and conduct
themselves as College Students. Any disruptive or disrespectful behavior
toward the instructor, other faculty or students will result in removal from
the class or lab; an absence; as well as daily zeroes. This is a “zero
tolerance” policy.
CELL PHONES/COMPUTERS are to be used on breaks and any student
seen using cell phones during classroom/lecture time will be removed from
class . Computers are to be used for specified class tasks only.
CLASS RULES – all students are expected to be prepared with books,
writing utensils, paper, etc. Also, proper conduct is expected. Being
disrespectful, loud and leaving the classroom is disruptive to others as well
as other classes. As with lab, breaks will be given periodically during longer
class sessions.
LAB RULES will be posted visibly and in accordance with college standards.
In addition, no student parking is permitted in back of lab.
Students are NOT to be inside project/student vehicles, nor are they
permitted to use radios, remove personal items, rev engines, etc. Any above
conduct will result in removal from LAB and a ZERO on daily grades.
Students may be assigned specific work/tasks in addition to hands-on
learning. This is to develop work ethics and problem solving. If students
repeatedly leave assigned jobs, or do not complete in a timely manner due
to distractions or non-participation (talking, cell phones, leaving work area,
etc.); they may be given a zero and the assigned task given to another
student.

Attendance Policy
Coastal Carolina Community College is committed to the principle that class
attendance is an essential part of its educational program. Class lectures,
demonstrations, discussions, and other in-class experiences are regarded as
vital ingredients of the educational process that cannot be easily
compensated for through out-of-class make-up work. Coastal's attendance
policy is designed to balance the educational benefits of regular class
attendance with the demands of everyday life. In order to be officially
enrolled, a student must attend the course no later than the census date. To
allow for absences related to religious observances, illness, emergencies,
and other circumstances, students may miss a percentage of class hours
before being disenrolled by the instructor. If the absences are not all
consecutive, then the student will be disenrolled by the instructor when the
number of absences exceeds 12.5% of class hours. If the absences are all
consecutive, then the student will be disenrolled by the instructor when the
number of absences reaches 12.5% of class hours.

Class Contact Hours 12.5% of Class Hours

2 4
3 6
4 8
5 10

NOTE: Student absences from class will be counted beginning with

the first class meeting after the student has registered for the class.
Laboratory hours and class hours are not interchangeable in the
application of the attendance guidelines. For students taking
courses that are corequisites, an attendance violation in one of the
courses will result in the student being disenrolled from both
courses.

If the college opens late, campus activities will resume at the designated
time. Students and employees should report to the location where they
would normally be at that specific time, even if the class or lab have an
earlier starting time. All instructional time missed will be made up.

Coastal's online courses are equivalent to their seated courses in both

academic rigor and student requirements. Students are required to
regularly demonstrate substantive academic engagement through their
active participation within online courses. Each course syllabus will state
the equivalent of 12.5% of class hours and identify at a minimum one
academic or academically related activity that will be completed each
scheduled week. Students who do not adhere to the specific attendance
guidelines will be disenrolled from the course. Students should carefully
review the attendance policy as stated in the course syllabus.

Students should be further advised that some programs may have more
stringent attendance requirements due to the nature of the specific
programs and various regulations established by state and federal licensing
agencies. Such additional attendance requirements are to be stated in the
respective program descriptions or course syllabi and are to be maintained
on file in the office of the appropriate Division Chair.

Students who request accommodations due to documented special needs

are advised that disability-related absences do not in any way alter class
requirements, faculty expectations, or student responsibilities. The
College's designated Coordinator for Disability Support Services does not
have a role in determining course attendance policies or in modifying
course attendance requirements. College faculty members determine all
grading procedures regarding make-up of missed assignments, quizzes, and
exams. A College faculty member is not required to lower essential course
requirements for accommodation purposes.

It is the responsibility of each student to understand and to abide by the

attendance requirements, as well as any additional guidelines developed by
faculty members concerning such things as advance notice of absences and
make-up work requirements. Students should be mindful that they remain
accountable for any information or assignments missed because of class
absence.

TARDINESS
Tardiness is counted as any time after the scheduled class
starting time.
Leaving the class or lab early or outside of permitted breaks
will count as a tardy.. Classroom Attendance is vital, and being
late is a disruption. After 2 Tardies I will consider the Student
as being disruptive and will request a meeting via email, the
student must meet and sign a recognition that any further
disruptive behavior will equal a Disciplinary Referral.

In the case of a teacher’s tardiness, students are required to remain in

class at least fifteen (15) minutes.

WITHDRAWAL & REINSTATEMENT

 If attendance is exceeded, the Student will be dropped from the
course. The student may be reinstated at the Instructors
discretion- The student must meet with the Instructor and
terms will be established relative to the Student’s situation. If
the Student violates these, they will be dropped and as a policy,
students will not be not be reinstated a second time. Any
student that is dropped and has a failing grade in the course
may not be reinstated.

Email and Communications

Use your school Outlook account, accessible through your MyCCCC Portal,
to email your instructor or your classmates. You should check your email
each school day. Students are responsible for receiving communication
from the College or the Instructor via their College email account. Students
may download the Outlook app available for mobile phones or use Outlook
on a computer. This will allow notification of communications from the
Instructor or the College, as well as updates on assignments.
