ATTENDANCE AND TIME POLICIES
Students are required to attend class regularly. Attendance will be taken at each class/or shop period, including after break periods. Students are expected to be prepared and ready to work at that time.
Sleeping (or the appearance of sleeping) will not be tolerated, (this will exclude break times). This will counted toward unexcused absence at a minimum of one hour per occurrence.
Excused Absences may consist of sickness or injury. All excused absences are approved at the discretion of the Program Coordinator. All other absences are unexcused absences.
In case of unavoidable absence, students are expected to contact the instructor prior to the beginning of the class or as soon as possible.
Students aware of their need to be absent during an exam should make arrangements with their instructor PRIOR to the absence.
Students will be counseled in writing by the Instructor of Record for lack of attendance using form AMTS-130. If an instructor decides that the student is not keeping up with the class due to absences, the Instructor of Record may recommend to the Program Coordinator, in writing, that the student withdraw from the course.
Upon accumulation of 3 unexcused absences, or approaching 25% of time missed, which indicates that the student has jeopardized their progress and will advise the student to withdraw from the course. It will be the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from the course. Failure to take the proper actions will result in the student receiving an “I”, incomplete, or a grade of “F”, Failure, for the course. A copy of this notice will be placed in the student’s file.
Procedure: The Instructor of Record may email the Program Coordinator with notice that the student has jeopardized their progress and has been advised to withdraw from the course.
Students withdrawing from a course must go through a formal procedure. Specific dates and procedures are outlined in the college catalog. Also, no withdrawal is official unless it is processed by the Registrar’s Office. Until that time, the student will remain on the class roll, and may receive a final grade of “F”.
Tardiness: Students are expected to arrive for class on time. Time missed by any student arriving in class after the scheduled start time is recorded as time absent in .1 (1/10th) hour increments to the next highest 1/10th hour. For example, if a student is 1 to 6 minutes late, the Instructor shall record -.1 in the attendance block. If the student is 7 minutes late, the instructor shall record -.2 in the attendance block.
Note: The instructor may begin class/lecture by locking the classroom door to prevent interruptions by late arriving students. Students being ”locked out” due to their late arrival will be allowed to rejoin the class at the next scheduled break. The student’s attendance will begin when the student rejoins the class. It is in the student's best interest to be in class early.
Tests and Excused Absences: Excused absences during a regular exam or quiz may be made up without penalty.

Along with the course syllabus the East Campus has created additional rules that must be followed by the student. Copies of the East Campus Code of Professional Conduct are posted throughout the facility.
East Campus Code of Professional Conduct
Amarillo College has the responsibility to provide you with the education, training and “hands on” practice to become a professional in your chosen field. The instruction, equipment, facilities and apparatus are provided for your use. Studying, practicing and learning are required by you.
As a participating student in Amarillo College Technical Programs, you will be expected to act, perform and train in a professional manner. The following rules and guidelines are to be followed by everyone.
Attendance:
Unless it is an emergency, it is highly recommended that you do not miss class. Recovery of missed information will be the responsibility of the student. Class begins at the scheduled time. If you are not in your seat in class or at the designated location during laboratory exercises, you will be counted as tardy. The student will be required to show an acceptable understanding of the topic(s) covered during their absence. Check syllabus for your instructor’s policy regarding attendance.
Professional Attire: Every student will be required to wear an approved AC logo shirt to both class and lab. Shirts must be ordered through your advisor during the registration period. It is recommended that each student purchase one shirt for every class in which they are registered.
Pants will be:
• clean and well maintained • no large rips or tears • held at the waist (i.e no sagging) • blue jeans or long pants (no sweats/exercise pants) • have no hanging chains/loose strings (safety issue)
You are expected to reflect the dignity, pride and respectfulness of an industry professional. As a representative of Amarillo College’s Technical Education Program you shall wear your AC logo shirt while in the classroom and on the training field or in the laboratory.
There will be no caps, hats, bandanas, beanies, or hoods allowed to be worn in the classroom. Lab attire will be determined by your instructor. Please check your syllabus.
Your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be worn when indicated by the instructor in charge during any training, field, or laboratory exercises.
It is your responsibility to keep your equipment clean and in good shape.
Required professional attire is mandatory for class and laboratory participation.
Tools / Equipment / Books / Supplies / PPE:
You must show up to class with the required list of tools/equipment/books/supplies/PPE listed on your syllabus in order to be allowed to participate and earn credit for the day.
Conduct: Due to the importance of maintaining a safe atmosphere in the training field/laboratory environment as well as in the classroom, any disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. All students are expected to be respectful, courteous, attentive and quiet in order to support the learning environment.
There shall be no smoking except in designated areas and during designated breaks.
Students shall refrain from the use of abusive or slanderous language.
There is to be no horseplay, fighting, harassment or misconduct by anyone.
Any student who uses, has in their possession, or is under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol on campus or at the training field will immediately be turned over to the campus police for appropriate action. This will be a ZERO tolerance policy with immediate steps taken toward withdrawal from Amarillo College.
Anyone who is caught cheating on an exam or quiz will immediately be excused from class and not allowed to return. This is an Amarillo College rule and will be strictly enforced. This applies to plagiarism as well.
Electronic Devices: All electronic devices which produce audible sounds must be silenced during class and on the laboratory/training field.
All visual slides and materials are the property of the instructor and may be copyright protected, hence no photocopy is allowed.
See the syllabus for your instructor’s policy on this matter.
Grievances:
Any student who feels that there is a conflict with a course instructor should first make every effort to resolve that matter with the instructor. If you are unable to resolve differences then you should seek resolution from the immediate supervisor of the instructor or the course coordinator.
NOTE: Compliance with the Amarillo College Technical Education Code of Professional Conduct is mandatory for class participation.
Syllabus Contract is required by all students, the contract signifies that you have read and understood all items within the course syllabus. The course instructor will provide the syllabus contract for you to complete.
