Welcome to the Amarillo College Technical Education Division. We wish you the best in your educational pursuit. It is our responsibility to provide you the education, training, and "hands-on" practice to become a professional in your chosen field in a safe environment.

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 for your safety and to foster a learning environment.
Attendance: Unless it is an emergency, we highly recommend you not miss class. Recovery of missed information will be the responsibility of you (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 tardy. You will be required to show an acceptable understanding of the topic(s) covered during your absence. Check syllabus for your instructor’s policy regarding attendance.
Professional Attire: Required professional attire and PPE is mandatory for class and laboratory participation. 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 process. It is recommended that you purchase one shirt for every class in which you are registered

blue jeans or long pants (no sweats/exercise pants)

AC Shirts must be tucked in at all times while in the classroom and lab, unless otherwise stated by your Instructor. You are expected to reflect the dignity, pride and respect 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 worn in Amarillo College class rooms. Religious or medicinal attire must be discussed with your instructor and/or Department Chair. 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.
Tools / Equipment / Books / Supplies / PPE: You must come to class with the required list of tools/equipment/books/supplies/PPE listed on your syllabus in order to participate and earn credit for the day
Conduct: Due to the importance of maintaining a safe atmosphere for the training, disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. All students are expected to be respectful, courteous, attentive and quiet in order to support the learning environment.
Amarillo College Campuses are Smoke Free as of August 1, 2016. Smoking is permitted off of College property.
You will refrain from the use of abusive or slanderous language. There will 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. There will be a ZERO tolerance policy and 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 producing audible sounds must be silenced during class and on the laboratory/training field. All visual slides and materials are the property of the College 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 the matter with the instructor. If you are unable to resolve differences, you should seek resolution from the immediate supervisor of the instructor, or course coordinator, or Associate Dean of Technical Education.
