Attendance Policy Regular attendance is required for the student to complete all course requirements and receive the optimum benefit of instruction. If a student misses 15 percent of the class meetings intermittently within the first 60 percent of the instructional hours for that course, the instructor may withdraw the student from the course assigning the grade of W. If a student misses 15 percent of the class meetings intermittently such that the students last absence occurs after the first 60 percent of the instructional hours for that course, the instructor may assign the student the grade of F. Absences are counted from the first scheduled class meeting. If students are absent, it is their responsibility to seek out their instructor or a classmate to discover what they missed. Arriving late or leaving class early (missing more than 20 percent of an instructional session) counts as a full absence. Chronic tardiness and/or leaving class early may adversely affect the students course grade and may cause the student to receive a grade of F. Withdrawal Policy Prior to the 60 percent date in the semester (3/20/12), students may officially withdraw from one or all courses with a grade of W. Students may receive a grade of F due to lack of attendance. Failure on the part of the student to withdraw officially from a course could result in a grade of F. To initiate an official withdrawal, a student should obtain a drop/withdrawal form from the Registration office and return it completed to the Registration office. Students making registration changes may be eligible for a refund and must complete the necessary refund request process. The college refund policy http://www.durhamtech.edu/html/prospective/tuition.htm is described herein. Any student with consecutive absences equaling or exceeding 15 percent of the instructional hours for the course prior to the official withdrawal date for the course will be withdrawn from the class by the instructor with a grade of W. If a student misses 15 percent of the class meetings consecutively such that the students last absence occurs after the first 60 percent of the instructional hours for that course, the instructor will submit a withdrawal form assigning the grade of F or a grade of W for Developmental Education courses.

Classroom Atmosphere Classrooms are a place for serious academic inquiry and for the practice of college-level thinking. In order to create a positive learning atmosphere for all students, please abide by the following classroom rules. Cell phones/pagers: Please turn cell phones/pagers off or switch them to silent during class. Receiving or making a call during class will not be excused. You may give the number of the security office (536-7255) to your emergency contacts, and an officer will come and get you in class if there is an emergency. Side conversations: Questions are expected and welcome. However, please do not hold side conversations while the instructor or classmates are explaining something. Please ask the instructor first, not a neighbor, if you have any questions. Language/respect: Vulgar language is not allowed in the classroom. Also, please show tolerance and respect to all members of the class. Dominating the class conversation: Many subjects in the class will be open to group discussion. If the instructor feels anyone is dominating the conversation, he or she may ask that individual to allow others to voice their opinions so the class can address more perspectives. The best way to understand new concepts is to talk about them from different points of view, and allowing everyone the chance to participate is the best way to accomplish this goal. Attendance: Once you enter the room, you are expected to remain present for the full class period and not to leave without permission and only under extreme circumstances. It is distracting to the instructor and to your classmates to wander in and out of the classroom. Food or drink: No food or drink is allowed in the colleges classrooms or computer labs. Children: The college does not permit a student to attend class with a child or to leave a child unattended on campus while attending class.
DTCC policies are accessible from the Blackboard.
