Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.

Notify your Instructor of faulty wiring/equipment, worn or damaged tools, or missing parts. No horseplay is allowed whatsoever. Academic disciplinary measures will be promptly administered to the offending person(s).

Failure to wear an approved shirt will result in an absence for the entire meeting. Tools and equipment specified for this class and any preliminary class in the curriculum are to be furnished by the student. Failure to dress for work or bring needed equipment will count as an absence. All tools should be properly used and cared for, thus allowing for the longevity and safety of both the user and the tool.

Tutoring Policy College Wide
Tutoring for Success applies to any student whose overall performance in the course falls below 75%. The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the students to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general. The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor. Additionally, the task will alert the student's success team. Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.
Professional industrial workers understand the importance of being on time and having the required tools, books, and materials needed to successfully complete the job. Professionals understand the need to follow rules and regulations established by the employer, government regulatory agencies, and insurance companies. You will be graded accordingly.
Full attendance and participation in class and lab are regarded as a requirement and an obligation for learning. Students will be allowed to make up one excused absence with the prior approval of the instructor. Four absences will result in a failing grade for the semester, this equals 25% of class missed. Any absences or tardiness need to be emailed to the instructor prior to the scheduled class meeting for consideration of the exemption.
The class will begin promptly at the designated time for class, any student arriving after this time will be counted tardy and lose pts. for the meeting. Students must return from breaks promptly and on time. Students must be released by the instructor before leaving the class or lab meeting.
Students must legibly sign in and out of class and lab to be counted present.
The Class schedule is subject to change due to Federal and AC holidays and school closures.
