College Policies and Student Code of Conduct:

Students should refer to the current Montgomery College Student
Handbook for the official wording of all academic, classroom, and
college-wide policies. Students are expected to abide by the Code of
Conduct which follows:

            Each and every student is expected to behave in ways which
            promote a teaching and learning atmosphere. Students have
            the right to learn; however, they do not have the right to
            interfere with the freedom of the faculty to teach or the rights
            of other students to learn. Students will be treated
            respectfully in return for respectful behavior.

            All in-class discussions should be carried out in a way that
            keeps the classroom environment respectful of the rights of
            others. This means that, for example, students should not
            interrupt someone else who is talking regardless of whether
            that person is the instructor or another student. Students
            should not monopolize class time by repeatedly interrupting
            and asking questions in a manner which hinders the learning
            process of others. Students are also expected to conduct
            themselves in ways which create a safe learning and teaching
            environment that is free from such things as violence,
            intimidation, and harassment.

Please make sure that you obtain and read a copy of the current Student
Handbook, which contains the Student Code of Conduct.

Auditing Class:
The student must complete all assignments and tests. If the student does
not complete all assigned work, the instructor may assign a final grade of
W.

Class Attendance: (P 55, MC Student Handbook 1997-99)

"Students are expected to attend all class sessions. In the case of absence, it is the student’s responsibility to confer with the instructor about the excusability of the absence and to make up the work. When a student’s absences have exceeded the number of class sessions per week or the number specified by the instructor, the instructor may drop the student from the class following an additional absence or may assign the grade of ‘F’ for the course."

Student Disability:

If you have a disability which will require accommodation, please see the
instructor after class or during office hours. It is usually possible to work
out whatever arrangements are necessary, be it special seating, testing, or
other accommodation. If you have not already contacted the Disability
Support Services office (CAB231), please do so to obtain a letter
authorizing your accommodations.

Students with mobility disabilities depend on the elevators to get to class.
Please use the stairs if you are able to do so.
