3. Students must attend 75% of scheduled class time or they will be asked to drop from the class or fail.
4. Students arriving 15 minutes or more late, or leave more than 15 minutes early will only receive 50% of the daily quizzes, test / exams, projects and shop projects
Punctual and regular attendance is a requirement in all classroom, laboratory and shop sessions. Excused absences are: sickness or injury, with a doctor's statement or at the discretion of the Accountable Manager. All other absences and tardy are unexcused. Any "No Call, No Show" for class will be considered unexcused. Please note; Class instruction will still be given which could have a quiz or test grading component that the student may not have received the information due to being absent or tardy.
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”.
1. EXCUSED ABSENCES During the day of a regular exam (including Final Exam) or quiz will be made up without penalty. Make up exam or quiz will be taken / given at the CONVENIENCE of the instructor.
2. UNEXCUSED ABSENCES / TARDY during day of a regular exam will result in a maximum possible test grade of 50 percent, if student is more than 15 minutes late or leaves more than 15 minutes early when the test is taken and test received a passing score.
During day of final exam 15 minutes or more late will result in being issued an "incomplete" contract and final exam will be given at the instructors discretion.
3. Daily classroom / shop break times will be given at the instructors’ discretion. Without prior arrangements students returning late after break time ends will be considered absent (unexcused).
4. Unless prior arrangements have been made; restroom break time should be limited to the minimal amount of time, excessive use or time away from class / shop could result in the (unexcused) time.
Tardiness
A student's tardiness, (3 or more), may result in:
1. A written warning against further tardiness from the instructor.
2. Being placed on probation for the course.
3. Being issued a grade of "F" for the course.
Note: Unexcused tardy will still be counted even if you contacted the instructor prior to class start time. Excused tardy will be handled on a case by case basis.
The instructor may choose to begin class/lecture by securing the classroom door to prevent interruptions by late arriving students. It is in the student's best interest to be in class early.
If a student arrives late and is "locked out", he/she may rejoin the class at the next scheduled break time. Attendance begins when the student rejoins the class

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.
