As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce a student's ability to participate in daily activities. Amarillo College offers services to assist you with addressing these and other concerns you may be experiencing. If you or someone you know are suffering from any of the aforementioned conditions, you can learn more about the broad range of confidential mental health services available on campus by calling the AC Counseling Center at 806-371-5900. The AC Counseling Center website is https://www.actx.edu/counseling/ . Also, if you are in need of social services (affordable housing, utilities, transportation, food, clothing, childcare, medical/dental/vision, legal), please call the AC Advocacy & Resource Center at 806-371-5439.

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 student 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.
Students who do not attend class on or prior to the census date will be administratively dropped. Effective Fall, 2016
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete all steps indicated on the Academic Withdrawal Request form by the course withdrawal deadline.
NOTE: Students who are attending Texas institutions of higher education, for the first time fall 2007 and later, may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career. This withdrawal limitation does not include dual credit or developmental classes (Senate Bill 1231 Rule 4.10.) For more information on Drop and Withdrawal Policies, please visit the Registrar's Office Web site.

Monitor your progress
You can check your grades throughout the course by selecting the My Grades link in the menu.
Feedback for each assignment is given within one week of submission deadline.
Grades are not artificially raised to move students to a different final grade. The cutoffs are given above and are not flexible. You have to earn a 90 or higher to get an A, not an 89. Why? Because this leads to infinite regress - if 89 is an A, what about 88.9? 88.5? 88? Etc. There must be a cutoff and those cutoffs are given above.
DEADLINES ARE NOT EXTENDED FOR ANY REASON!
A deadline is the last possible second you can turn something in for a grade. If you go over - even by just a few seconds - YOUR WORK WILL BE LATE and will not be counted! Don't let this happen to you. Don't start an assignment or test at 11:30pm. Start early. Pace yourself. If you miss the deadline, that's it. THAT IS IT! The assignments will not be accepted late, even if just a few seconds. You are given the deadlines far in advance and it is your responsibility to meet them.
No attendance required.
