Attendance Policy

Regular attendance and participation in classes are essential for success in and are completion requirements for courses at CCV. A student's failure to meet attendance requirements as specified in course descriptions will normally result in a non-satisfactory grade.

  • In general, missing more than 20% of a course due to absences, lateness or early departures may jeopardize a student's ability to earn a satisfactory final grade.
  • Attending an on-ground or synchronous course means a student appeared in the live classroom for at least a meaningful portion of a given class meeting. Attending an online course means a student posted a discussion forum response, completed a quiz or attempted some other academically required activity. Simply viewing a course item or module does not count as attendance.
  • Meeting the minimum attendance requirement for a course does not mean a student has satisfied the academic requirements for participation, which require students to go above and beyond simply attending a portion of the class. Faculty members will individually determine what constitutes participation in each course they teach and explain in their course descriptions how participation factors into a student's final grade.


Participation Expectations

If your class has an online discussion forum, you are expected to answer all questions that I post and reply to at least two classmates in order to get full credit for that discussion.

If your class is face-to-face, you are expected to come to each class and participate to the best of your abilities.

I understand that talking during class, whether its online or face-to-face, can be intimidating, I promise that the more you participate, the more you will get out of your course.



Missing & Late Work Policy

It is important to stay up to date and on time with your assignments. All assignment due dates are listed in Canvas.

If your course has an online discussion, those discussions cannot be made up once they close. This is essentially the same as talking in a classroom after class ends.

If your course has a written assignment or quiz, these can be made up after the due date but are subject to a 5% per day late penalty.

If you are falling behind, contact me as soon as possible. The more time I have to work with you the better I can help you.

All assignments must be turned in by the final day of class. No work is accepted after that date without an approved incomplete.


Accessibility Services for Students with Disabilities:


CCV strives to mitigate barriers to course access for students with documented disabilities. To request accommodations, please
  1. Provide disability documentation to the Accessibility Coordinator at your academic center. https://ccv.edu/discover-resources/students-with-disabilities/
  2. Request an appointment to meet with accessibility coordinator to discuss your request and create an accommodation plan.
  3. Once created, students will share the accommodation plan with faculty. Please note, faculty cannot make disability accommodations outside of this process.


Academic Integrity


CCV has a commitment to honesty and excellence in academic work and expects the same from all students. Academic dishonesty, or cheating, can occur whenever you present -as your own work- something that you did not do. You can also be guilty of cheating if you help someone else cheat. Being unaware of what constitutes academic dishonesty (such as knowing what plagiarism is) does not absolve a student of the responsibility to be honest in his/her academic work. Academic dishonesty is taken very seriously and may lead to dismissal from the College.
